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)

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
