Abstract:
Brush up on titration technology and technique. After 40 years of training and teaching chemists and technicians the fundamentals of instrumental titration, Tore presents the basic things to get right to be sure your results are accurate.
- Is the electrode good? How does it work? How is it maintained?
- Is the titrant strength known? How good are the numbers? What about the burette tolerance?
- Is the endpoint correct? Is it by pH or potential, or is it to an inflection? How is the inflection defined? Are there more than one?
- Is the calculation correct? Molecular or equivalent weight?
