The titration process can be observed in the video below. A measured volume of the solution to be titrated, in this case, colorless aqueous acetic acid, CH 3 COOH( aq ) is placed in a beaker. The colorless sodium hydroxide NaOH( aq ), which is the titrant , is added carefully by means of a buret.
A burette is a laboratory graduated glass tube used to deliver measured volumes of liquid to another vessel. It is commonly used for titration in quantitative analysis. In analytical
Using A Burette. Step 1. Figure 4.9 4. 9: Step 1. A vertical stopcock means the buret is open and a horizontal stopcock means the buret is closed. A helpful tip: the direction of the stopcock follows the direction of the flow. Step 2. Figure 4.10 4. 10: Step 2. Rinse the burette and glassware with the titrant a few times to prevent contamination.
The digital burette can be used with most common titration solutions (max. 1 mol/l), such as sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid or iodine-potassium iodide solution. Certain digital burette models can also be connected to a PC for direct data transfer, thus, eliminating potential data transcription errors.
