Answer. A chemical substance that changes colour at the endpoint is known as an indicator.
Answer. The endpoint of the titration is the point during titration when the reaction is nearly
complete.
Q5. Why are the burette and the pipette rinsed with the solution with which these are filled?
Answer. If you rinse the burette with the solution to be used, any tiny amounts of liquid
remaining are the same as the solution used to fill the burette, and they will not affect the
solution’s concentration in any way.
Q6. Which indicator is used in the titration of oxalic acid vs sodium hydroxide? Can the
titration be performed by using some other indicator?
Answer. In the titration of oxalic acid and sodium hydroxide, phenolphthalein is used as an
indicator because it changes colour in the titration pH range (8.3 – 10).
Any indicator with a pH range of 3.5 to 10 will detect the equivalence point. As a result,
either phenolphthalein or methyl orange could be used as an indicator.
Q7. Why should one read the lower meniscus in the case of colourless and transparent
solutions and the upper meniscus for solutions of dark colour?
Answer. When measuring the volume of colourless or transparent liquids, the lower meniscus
must be read, but the upper meniscus must be read when measuring the volume of coloured
liquids because the phase boundary in the colourless liquid is clearly visible and easy to read.
Answer. A 1.0 M solution contains one mole of solute per litre of solution.
Q10. Why should the last drop of the solution not be blown out of a pipette?
Answer. This is due to the fact that the drops remaining in the jet end exceed the volume
measured by the pipette.
Answer. Concordant readings are volumetric analysis readings that differ by less than 0.05
mL.
Q14. Can one take oxalic acid solution in the burette and sodium hydroxide solution in the
titration flask? Point out the limitations of doing so if any.
Answer. No, because when a sodium hydroxide solution is added to the titration flask, the
endpoint colour changes from pink to colourless. The precision in noting this change may be
reduced as the compound changes from colourless to pink.
Answer. The molarity of the solution can be calculated by using the formula-
a1 M1 V1 = a2 M2 V2
where a1, M1, V1 are respectively basicity, molarity and volume of acid used and a2, M2 and
V2 are acidity, molarity and volume respectively of base used in the titration.
Answer. A molar solution is one that contains 1 mole of solute in one litre of solution.
Answer. The method used to determine the strength of acid by titrating it against a standard
alkali solution using a suitable indicator is known as acidimetry.
