  • Measuring cylinder
  • Beaker
  • BuretteRight answer
From Titration, 15 questions.

What this set covers

The apparatus, indicators and calculations of an acid-alkali titration. It covers burette, pipette and volumetric flask, phenolphthalein and methyl orange, end point, concordant titres, reading the meniscus, and moles and concentration from the titre.

Common mix-up
Students often forget the mole ratio: with H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH, the moles of NaOH are double the moles of acid, so skipping the ratio gives the wrong concentration.
Review tip
Take one titration result and write out the calculation in four lines: moles of the known solution, the ratio, moles of the unknown, then concentration.
