Neutralize an acid lake contamination
Counting potatoes in a bag would be pretty easy. You can feel, see, and touch the potatoes.
Now imagine counting the amount of acid in a water sample. How would you do that? In this simulation, you will embrace the power of the titration technique. With appropriate lab apparatus, a chemical indicator and a base solution, you can determine the concentration of any acid.
At the end of this simulation, you will be able to…
● Assemble the apparatus required for titration.
● Describe the function of each part of the titration apparatus.
● Explain the general steps of a colorimetric acid-base titration and its uses.
● Perform a titration experiment
● Describe the role of the 3 main reagents used in a titration: sample, titrant, and
indicator
● Explain what is the endpoint of a titration and the role of the indicator.
● Explain why the use of high-precision volumetric material is essential for a titration.
● Calculate the concentration of the titrated solution from the results of the titration
experiment.
