0:12 concentration is used to determine the
0:12 concentration is used to determine the unknown concentration of a solution
0:17 usually the solution of known
0:19 usually the solution of known
0:19 usually the solution of known concentration or titrant is added from a
0:22 concentration or titrant is added from a
0:22 concentration or titrant is added from a burette to a known quantity of the
0:24 burette to a known quantity of the
0:24 burette to a known quantity of the analyte the unknown solution and so the
0:27 analyte the unknown solution and so the
0:27 analyte the unknown solution and so the reaction is complete which is indicated
0:30 reaction is complete which is indicated
0:30 reaction is complete which is indicated by the endpoint the accuracy of the
0:35 by the endpoint the accuracy of the

1:09 between 0 and 2 milliliters the initial
1:09 between 0 and 2 milliliters the initial reading will be recorded remembering to
1:12 reading will be recorded remembering to
1:12 reading will be recorded remembering to do it to two decimal places the analyte
1:18 do it to two decimal places the analyte
1:18 do it to two decimal places the analyte solution is pipette it into the conical
1:20 solution is pipette it into the conical
1:20 solution is pipette it into the conical flask and then a few drops of the
1:22 flask and then a few drops of the
1:22 flask and then a few drops of the indicator is added the conical flask is
1:26 indicator is added the conical flask is
1:26 indicator is added the conical flask is then placed under the Burien when
1:31 then placed under the Burien when
1:31 then placed under the Burien when forming the first titration the solution
1:33 forming the first titration the solution
1:33 forming the first titration the solution is delivered at a rapid pace to get a
1:36 is delivered at a rapid pace to get a
1:36 is delivered at a rapid pace to get a rough idea what volume is needed to
1:39 rough idea what volume is needed to
1:39 rough idea what volume is needed to reach the endpoint
1:40 reach the endpoint
1:40 reach the endpoint this is known as a rough saturation and
1:44 this is known as a rough saturation and
1:44 this is known as a rough saturation and it is not included in your final results
1:47 it is not included in your final results
1:47 it is not included in your final results as it is not accurate however you still
1:51 as it is not accurate however you still
1:51 as it is not accurate however you still need to record the final volume reading
1:53 need to record the final volume reading
1:53 need to record the final volume reading from the Buren's the volume of solution
1:56 from the Buren's the volume of solution
1:56 from the Buren's the volume of solution delivered is determined by subtracting
1:59 delivered is determined by subtracting
1:59 delivered is determined by subtracting the final reading with the initial
2:01 the final reading with the initial
2:01 the final reading with the initial reading the pr8 will then be refold
2:05 reading the pr8 will then be refold
2:05 reading the pr8 will then be refold initial readings recorded in the zoo
2:08 initial readings recorded in the zoo
2:08 initial readings recorded in the zoo and the conical flasks prepared in
2:11 and the conical flasks prepared in
2:11 and the conical flasks prepared in preparation for the next saturation the
2:17 preparation for the next saturation the
2:17 preparation for the next saturation the next saturation will be done carefully
2:19 next saturation will be done carefully
2:19 next saturation will be done carefully to ensure that the end points is not
2:22 to ensure that the end points is not
2:22 to ensure that the end points is not missed using the volume recorded during
2:25 missed using the volume recorded during
2:25 missed using the volume recorded during the rough saturation the general
2:28 the rough saturation the general
2:28 the rough saturation the general procedure is to deliver approximately
2:30 procedure is to deliver approximately
2:30 procedure is to deliver approximately 3/4 of the volume of titrant recorded
2:34 3/4 of the volume of titrant recorded
2:34 3/4 of the volume of titrant recorded from the rough titration at a rapid pace
2:36 from the rough titration at a rapid pace
2:36 from the rough titration at a rapid pace and then at the titrant slowly until the
2:39 and then at the titrant slowly until the
2:39 and then at the titrant slowly until the endpoint it is even possible to add a
2:42 endpoint it is even possible to add a
2:42 endpoint it is even possible to add a drop swirl at another drop and so on
2:47 drop swirl at another drop and so on
2:47 drop swirl at another drop and so on until an endpoint is reached when
2:51 until an endpoint is reached when
2:51 until an endpoint is reached when approaching the endpoint volume a good
2:53 approaching the endpoint volume a good
2:53 approaching the endpoint volume a good habit is to wash the sides of the
2:56 habit is to wash the sides of the
2:56 habit is to wash the sides of the conical flask with distilled water from
2:58 conical flask with distilled water from
2:58 conical flask with distilled water from a wash bottle as when swirling the side
3:02 a wash bottle as when swirling the side
3:02 a wash bottle as when swirling the side of the conical flask will touch the tip
3:05 of the conical flask will touch the tip
3:05 of the conical flask will touch the tip and some of the titrant will stick to
3:08 and some of the titrant will stick to
3:08 and some of the titrant will stick to the walls of the flask
3:09 the walls of the flask
3:09 the walls of the flask if there is a droplet hanging on the tip
3:12 if there is a droplet hanging on the tip
3:12 if there is a droplet hanging on the tip of the burette wash the droplets into
3:14 of the burette wash the droplets into
3:14 of the burette wash the droplets into the flask using a wash bottle especially
3:17 the flask using a wash bottle especially
3:17 the flask using a wash bottle especially when approaching the endpoint washing
3:20 when approaching the endpoint washing
3:20 when approaching the endpoint washing off the titrant will result in a more
3:22 off the titrant will result in a more
3:22 off the titrant will result in a more accurate and precise result once the
3:26 accurate and precise result once the
3:26 accurate and precise result once the endpoint is reached the final reading is
3:29 endpoint is reached the final reading is
3:29 endpoint is reached the final reading is taken and the total volume of titrant
3:31 taken and the total volume of titrant
3:31 taken and the total volume of titrant delivered is determined by subjecting
3:34 delivered is determined by subjecting
3:34 delivered is determined by subjecting the final reading from the initial
3:36 the final reading from the initial
3:36 the final reading from the initial reading titrations are generally done in
