Titration Process Notes

These flashcards cover key vocabulary related to the titration process as outlined in the student's lecture notes.

Burette

A calibrated glass tube used to deliver variable amounts of liquid in a titration.

Meniscus

The curve at the surface of a liquid in a container, used to read liquid volumes.

Titration

A technique in chemistry to determine the concentration of a solution by adding a known volume of a titrant.

Concentration

The amount of a substance in a given volume of solution.

Titrant

The solution of known concentration used in a titration process.

Neutralization

The chemical reaction between an acid and a base, resulting in the formation of water and a salt.

Rough Titration

An initial titration used to estimate the endpoint in order to refine subsequent titrations.

Endpoint

The point in a titration at which the reaction is complete, often indicated by a color change.

Transition Point

The stage in titration where the solution changes color, indicating neutrality.
