Volumetric Analysis: Acid-Base Titrations

Topic Content:

Volumetric Analysis is a method of analysis used to determine the concentration of an unknown substance by titration. Your syllabus requires you to be familiar with acid-base titration and redox titration.

The concentration of a solution is the amount of soluteA solute is the substance that is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution. It is usually present in a smaller amount compared to the solvent. Examples: • In a... More in 1 dm³ or 1000 cm³ of the solution. It is expressed in mol dm^-3 or g dm^-3

Meaning of Titration:

Titration is done by adding a solution (either a standard solution or a non-standard solution) from a burette, slowly to another solution (could either be a standard solution or a non-standard solution) in a conical flask until the reaction is indicated to be complete.

A pipette is used to put an accurate volume of reactant in the conical flask. The pipette used is 20 cm³ or 25 cm³ .

Here, the solution (standard or non-standard)
