Titration Hints

When you are doing a titration you must always do the following:

A) Recording results:

1. Always record the first titration as rough and never use this volume in the average titre calcualtion.

2. Record the titre volumes to 0.05mL

3. You need at least 3 titres within 0.2mL of eachother.

4. Always record your results in a table form as follows:


rough 1 2 3 4

Final volume (mL)
initial volume (mL)
Volume used (mL)

B) Experimental technique

1. Rinse the conical flasks with distilled water.

2. Rinse the burette with the test solution you are going to use in it.

3. Rinse the pipette with the solution you are going to measure in it.
