Guide To Using a Burette for Titration
Titration is a technique used in the life sciences and healthcare industry where the solution of known concentration is used to find out the concentration of the unknown solution. Generally, the known solution (titrant) is added from a titration burette to a fixed amount of unknown solution (analyte) until the completion of the reaction. As the titrant volume is known, it is easier to determine the analyte’s concentration using the titration formula. Often a buffer or pH solution is used to indicate the end of the titration. Titration is one of the most frequently used quantitative analyses that help researchers develop or analyze chemical compounds. Titration seems like a simple procedure, but if not performed carefully, the integrity of your experiment may be compromised. There are several steps that are involved in the titration process. Each step must be executed with vigilance to obtain the correct result. The following abstract discusses the correct use of burettes. To fill t
