Study Notes
Titration Steps Overview
- Titration is a technique used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution by reacting it with a solution of known concentration.
Step 1: Prepare the Burette
- Fill the burette with a standard solution (known concentration) of an acid or base.
Step 2: Initial Burette Reading
- Take a reading from the top of the meniscus to ensure accurate measurement of the volume in the burette.
Step 3: Setup for Titration
- Position a flask containing the unknown concentration solution of acid or base directly under the burette for accurate dispensing.
Step 4: Add Indicator
- Introduce a few drops of a suitable indicator to the flask to visually signal the endpoint of the titration.
Step 5: Begin Titration Process
- Slowly dispense the titrant from the burette into the flask while continuously stirring to ensure thorough mixing.
Step 6: Monitor Color Change
- Continue adding the titrant until a distinct color change occurs, which indicates that the reaction is complete.
Step 7: Final Burette Reading
- Measure the final volume in the burette to determine how much titrant was used in the reaction to calculate the concentration of the unknown solution.
