Study Notes

Volumetric Titration: Equipment and Cleaning

  • A buret is a crucial piece of equipment in a volumetric titration, consisting of a graduation part, jet part, and tap.
  • The graduation part is typically made of more silicate glass and is classified into three classes: Class A, Class B, and Class C, with Class A being the most accurate.
  • Class B burets are commonly used in teaching institutions due to their acceptable accuracy and lower cost.
  • The jet part allows for controlled and small flow of the solution into the titration flask.
  • The tap is made of Teflon, a highly resistant polymer, and has an adjustable part to control the tap movement.

Cleaning the Buret

  • Cleaning the buret is essential to prevent contamination and ensure accurate results.
  • Use distilled water (DNS water) or deionized water to clean the buret, as tap water may contain impurities.
  • Remove the buret from the clamp and hold it securely to prevent accidental spills.
  • Close the tap before adding water to the buret to prevent leakage.
  • Rotate the buret horizontally to clean the graduation part, then make it vertical to clean the jet part.
  • Remove excess water from the graduation part and jet part after cleaning.

Rinsing the Buret with Titan

  • After cleaning the buret with DNS water, rinse it with the titrand (sodium hydroxide solution in this case) to prevent dilution errors.
  • Transfer some sodium hydroxide solution to a beaker, clean the beaker with DNS water, and then rinse it with the sodium hydroxide solution.
  • Remove excess water from the beaker and rinse the inner walls with the sodium hydroxide solution.
  • Transfer the sodium hydroxide solution to the buret, making sure to rinse the graduation part and jet part.

Importance of Proper Cleaning and Rinsing

  • Failure to properly clean and rinse the buret can lead to errors in the titration due to contamination or dilution.
  • Minimize the use of chemicals to avoid waste and environmental concerns.
  • Always clean and rinse the buret, beaker, and other equipment to ensure accurate results in volumetric titration.Here are the study notes for the text:

Titration Techniques

  • Importance of proper technique: prevents errors in experiment, ensures accurate results
  • Key elements of correct titration technique:
    • Hold buret with left hand (for right-handed individuals) and titration flask with right hand
    • Keep buret at comfortable height, adjust to prevent leaking
    • Use white background to observe color change
    • Use left hand to operate buret, right hand to hold titration flask (for right-handed individuals)
    • Control tap with rounded motion, not direct operation

Preparing for Titration

  • Use sticker papers to label beakers and flasks
  • Clean and rinse glassware with deionized water
  • Use a funnel to transfer titrant (e.g., sodium hydroxide) to buret
  • Remove funnel after transferring titrant to prevent contamination
  • Check buret for air bubbles, remove if necessary
  • Ensure jet part of buret is free from air bubbles

Pipetting Techniques

  • Use pipette bulb to suck solution
  • Hold pipette vertically, press aspirate button to suck solution
  • Release button to eject solution into beaker
  • Clean pipette with deionized water, then rinse with small volume of titrant
  • Use pipette to transfer 25 mL of hydrochloric acid to titration flask

Titration Flask Preparation

  • Clean and rinse titration flask with deionized water
  • Add acid-base indicator (e.g., phenolphthalein) to titration flask
  • Add 2-3 drops of indicator to observe color change
  • Use white background to observe color change

Performing Titration

  • Hold buret and titration flask correctly (as above)
  • Add titrant slowly, continuously, and carefully
  • Swirl titration flask continuously to mix solutions
  • Observe color change, stop adding titrant when endpoint is reached
  • Use wash bottle to remove unreacted droplets from inner walls of titration flask
  • Add small amounts of titrant drop by drop to avoid excess titrant

General Reminders

  • Always remove funnel before starting titration
  • Avoid mouth pipetting
  • Don't touch pipette tip to benchtop or other surfaces to prevent contamination
  • Take notes and record readings carefully
