The Titration Method

A titration is a method of measuring the volumes of two solutions that react together and using the results to determine the concentration of one of the solutions.Titrations are also known as volumetric analysis.
1. Rinse the conical flask with deionised water and place on a white tile.2. Using a pipette filler rinse the pipette with deionised water and then with some sodium hydroxide solution.3. Use a pipette to transfer 25.0cm3 of sodium hydroxide solution to the conical flask.4. Add about 3 drops of methyl orange indicator.5. Rinse the burette with acid solution and set it up in the burette stand above the conical flask.6. Fill the burette with the acid solution and record the reading.7. Add the acid to the conical flask from the burette until the indicator just changes colour and then record the burette reading.8. Empty the conical flask and rinse with deionised water and repeat the titration until concordant titres have been obtained.
