Titration
What is Titration?
A titration is a procedure in which a measured volume of one solution is added from a burette to a known volume of another until the reaction is exactly complete; the volume delivered, called the titre, together with the known concentration allows the unknown concentration to be calculated.
This definition is part of the Stoichiometry chapter in Cambridge O Level Chemistry.
Common mistakes with Titration
- 8. Applying a 1:1 shortcut to a titration that is not 1:1 Repair The relationship written as \(c_1V_1 = c_2V_2\) hides the equation ratio, and is only correct when that ratio happens to be \(1:1\). Go through moles instead — it costs one extra line and works every time. Lesson 3.3G
