@@augustinematthew2055 Well, do it without any expectation. Practise. Get a hang of things. Satisfy your curiosity. You'll never get truly good at it unless it's less of a chore and more of something you can appreciate
What a great explanation! It was easy to understand, and included the background concepts along with the technique. It's wonderful to find good explanations to share with my chemistry tutoring students. Thank you.
wow so adding too much titrant doesnt have to be a tragedy as it has always been in my analitycal chemistry classes.... why u didnt teach me those haha it would be much less stress
Thank you so much for the video! I don't understand why it doesn't matter if the conical flask has water left inside it? Does that not dilute the solution?
If there is water left in the flask, as long as it is distilled water, it does not change the moles of analyte in the flask or the moles of titrant needed to react with it. It is just extra water. Be sure you are measuring with an accurate instrument (like a buret or a grad cylinder) and NOT the flask itself. Flasks are terrible for accuracy. If you are measuring with the flask, it will be off from the start, and yes, drops of water will affect it. But if you measure the analyte separately and add it to the flask, no error should occur with the extra drops.
So he knows what the exact volume of the acid he's starting with. Normally you'd use a graduated cylinder to measure that, but a burette is more precise. The second burette is for the actual titration.
