Learning Objective
I can perform a titration to determine the concentration of an unknown solution.
- 1
The purpose of titration is to quantitatively determine the concentration of an unknown solution by adding a volume of a chemical with a known concentration.
- 2
A burette is a long narrow graduated tube used to add titrant, and it has a stopcock to regulate the flow of liquid.
- 3
When reading the volume on the burette, read the volume from the bottom of the meniscus at eye level and record the volume to the nearest hundredth of a milliliter.
