⚙️ Titration Method (Required Practical)

  1. RINSE the burette with the solution you'll put in it (removes water)
  2. FILL the burette with acid (or alkali) of known concentration
  3. RECORD the initial burette reading (read bottom of meniscus)
  4. PIPETTE exactly 25.0 cm³ of alkali (or acid) into a conical flask
  5. ADD a few drops of indicator
  6. TITRATE — add from burette slowly, swirling constantly
  7. NEAR END POINT — add dropwise until permanent colour change
  8. RECORD final burette reading
  9. CALCULATE titre (final reading − initial reading)
  10. REPEAT until you get concordant results (within 0.10 cm³)

Quick Recall Flashcards

What is a titration?
A technique to find an unknown concentration by adding a solution of known concentration until the reaction is complete You measure exactly how much was added
What are concordant results?
Titration results within 0.10 cm³ of each other These are the reliable results used to calculate the mean
