Titration procedure (Step by step)
TLDRThis video script outlines a meticulous procedure for conducting a titration experiment. It emphasizes the importance of preparation, including assembling the necessary equipment and ensuring safety by wearing gloves and goggles. The process involves cleaning and filling the pipette with acid, transferring it to a conical flask, and adding an indicator. The buret is similarly washed and filled with alkali, with attention to avoiding air bubbles and parallax error. Titration begins with an initial trial to estimate the endpoint, followed by more precise trials, aiming for accuracy within 0.1 ml between readings. The video stresses the need for careful observation of color changes, meticulous recording of results, and the significance of achieving consistent readings for a successful experiment. Finally, the script advises on cleaning and organizing equipment post-experiment.

Q & A
What is the first step in preparing for the titration experiment?
-The first step is to ensure that all the necessary equipment is in your basket as seen in the first video of the series.
What safety equipment should be worn before starting the titration?
-You should wear gloves and goggles before starting the titration.
Which substances are used for the titration in the experiment described in the script?
-The experiment uses an acid and an alkali for titration.
What is the purpose of washing the pipette with distilled water before use?
-Washing the pipette with distilled water is done to clean it from any debris and to prevent contamination of the acid.
How much acid should be transferred into the pipette using the pipette filler?
-You should transfer 25 mL of the acid into the pipette.
What is the purpose of adding an indicator in the titration process?
-The indicator is added to help identify the end point of the titration by changing color when the reaction is complete.
Why is it important to wash the buret before filling it with alkali?
-Washing the buret is important to ensure that there is no residue from previous substances that could affect the accuracy of the titration.
How much alkali should be used to fill the buret for titration?
-Approximately 70 to 100 mL of alkali should be sufficient to fill the buret for titration.
Why should the filter funnel be removed from the buret before titration begins?
-The filter funnel should be removed to prevent inaccurate readings, as a drop or two could trickle from the funnel into the buret, which could affect the titration results.
What is the purpose of placing a white tile underneath the conical flask during titration?
-The white tile helps to get a better assessment of the color of the solution in the flask, making it easier to observe the color change that indicates the end point.
How should the titration be performed to achieve a rough estimate of the end point?
-During the first trial, the solution should be added at a rate of two drops per second, and the end point is indicated by a color change in the solution.
What is the goal of the second trial in titration?
-The goal of the second trial is to achieve accuracy by releasing the liquid drop-wise from the buret and noting the end point when it is reached.
How many titration readings should be taken in total?
-In total, you should have at least three titration readings, with two readings that are 0.1 mL away from one another.
What should be done with the setup after completing the titration?
-After completing the titration, all glassware should be washed with tap water and everything should be returned to its place.
Outlines
🧪 Preparation and Initial Steps for Titration
This paragraph outlines the initial setup for a titration experiment. It emphasizes the importance of having all necessary equipment ready, including a buret, pipette, and safety gear such as gloves and goggles. The process begins with the assembly of the equipment on a retort stand. The script instructs on how to clean the pipette and buret using distilled water to remove any debris. It then details the steps for filling the pipette with acid and transferring it to a conical flask. The addition of an indicator, if necessary, is also mentioned. The paragraph concludes with the preparation of the buret for titration, including filling it with Alkali and ensuring the absence of air bubbles for accurate measurements.
📝 Conducting the Titration and Recording Results
The second paragraph details the procedure for conducting the titration process and recording the results. It begins with the setup for titration, including removing the filter funnel from the buret and placing the conical flask under the buret's tap. A white tile is used to assist in observing color changes in the solution. The paragraph describes the initial trial, which aims to estimate the endpoint by adding the solution at a controlled rate. Upon reaching the endpoint, the reading is noted. The process is repeated for accuracy, with the buret being refilled as necessary. The goal is to achieve at least three titration readings with a difference of no more than 0.1 ml between them. The paragraph concludes with instructions to show the readings to a teacher before cleaning and storing the equipment.
