Topic Summary: Titrations
Key Terms
- Titre: volume added from burette (cm³)
- Concordant: titres within 0.10 cm³
- Endpoint: permanent colour change
- Burette: graduated tube, ±0.05 cm³
- Pipette: fixed volume transfer (25.0 cm³)
- n = c × V: moles from concentration
Must-Know Facts
- Indicator goes in conical flask, not burette
- Read bottom of meniscus at eye level
- Discard rough titration; average concordant results only
- Phenolphthalein: colourless → pink (acid → alkali)
- Methyl orange: red → yellow (acid → alkali)
- Higher Tier: 3-step calculation (n, ratio, c)
