1. Titrations

2. Learning Objectives
Aiming for 4: Accurately read the volume on a burette to 1 decimal place. Identify concordant results
Aiming for 6: Calculate a titre. Describe how an indicator can be used to determine the end point. Explain how accuracy can be improved in a titration.
Aiming for 8: Justify the use of a pipette and burette for a titration, evaluating the errors involved in reading these instruments. Explain how precise results are obtained in a titration. Justify the use of an indicator in an acid–base titration.

3. Practice Titrations & Safety
You will now have time to practice your titration techniques.
Things to remember:
Do not take the burette off the wooden support
The tip of the burette is very fragile
Take particular care when using the pipette filler ~ hold the pipette near the end you are attaching to the filler
Hold the volumetric flask by the base and neck when inverting
