Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can accurately measure the volume of an acid of an unknown concentration that neutralises an alkali of a known concentration.

Show transcript
In a titration, a trial investigation helps estimate the amount of acid needed to neutralise the alkali. Near the end point, add the acid drop by drop whilst swirling the solution in the conical flask to mix. Placing a white tile under the conical flask enhances the visibility of the colour change and accuracy of readings. Volume readings should be taken at eye level from the bottom of the meniscus. Concordant titres are typically within ±0.10 cm³.
