titrations Flashcards
1
Q
What does a titration do?
A
Determine the concentration of an unknown substance
2
Q
What happens during a titration?
A
The titrant is slowly added into a solution of unknown concentration until the endpoint is reached
3
Q
When has the endpoint been reached in a titration reaction?
A
When there is a color change because of the added indicator
4
Q
What is a titrant?
A
A solution with a known concentration
5
Q
What is the set-up for a titration?
A
A Burette, a titrant, and a solution in an erlenmeyer flask
6
Q
If the acid and base react in a one to one ratio, how can titration stoichiometry be summarized?
A
MaVa=MbVb (Ma = molarity of acid Va = volume of acid Mb = molarity of base Vb = volume of base)
