Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of back titration in the context of acid-base titration?

  • To reach the endpoint directly without backtracking.
  • To titrate excess acid with a standard base solution.
  • To avoid slow reactions in titrating insoluble acids.
  • To titrate excess base with a standard acid solution. (correct)
  • Why is back titration considered an alternative technique to direct titration?

  • To account for slow reaction rates in certain titrations. (correct)
  • To speed up the determination of equivalence points.
  • To achieve more accurate results in acid-base reactions.
  • To simplify the titration process in complex reactions.
  • In back titration, why is excess base added before titrating with a standard acid?

  • To ensure the reaction goes to completion before reaching equivalence point. (correct)
  • To neutralize any remaining acid in the solution.
  • To eliminate the need for endpoint indicators.
  • To speed up the reaction between the analyte and the titrant.
