Titration is a controlled acid-base neutralization reaction. This experimental procedure is used in chemistry to determine the molarity of an acid or a base. A chemical reaction is set up between a known volume of a solution of unknown concentration and a solution with a known concentration. Essentially, we will use it to determine the concentration of this unknown solution.
What is Used in the Titration Process?
- The BURET contains the known solution, used to dispense known amounts of a liquid reagent in experiments for which such precision is necessary.
- The STOPCOCK is a valve used to control the flow of solution from the buret.
- The PIPET GLASS TUBE is used to accurately measure the volume of an unknown solution.
- The ERLENMEYER FLASK is the container for the unknown solution.
- The INDICATOR is used to identify the end point of the titration process. In most cases a phenolphthalein indicator will be used.
- The STOCK SOLUTION is the known solution.
Below is a video which thoroughly explains the steps we will take during next class when we do our titrations lab.
