Study Notes
Titration
- Titration is an analytical method used to estimate the concentration of an unknown analyte solution using a standard solution of known concentration.
Standard Solution
- A standard solution is a solution with a known concentration.
- It is also referred to as a titrant in titration.
Volumetric Analysis
- The principle of volumetric analysis is to determine the concentration of an unknown analyte solution using a standard solution of known concentration.
Titration Flask
- The titration flask should not be rinsed because some of the liquid sticks to the flask, resulting in an increased pipetted volume.
KMnO4 Titration
- The end point in KMnO4 titration is marked by a color change from colorless to light pink.
Acidimetry/Alkalimetry
- Acidimetry or alkalimetry is a branch of volumetric analysis that deals with acid-base titration.
