Apparatus for Measurements

Time is measured with a stopwatch or stopclock, accurate to one or two decimal places; units are seconds or minutes.
Temperature is measured with a thermometer (precision ±0.5 °C) or digital temperature probe (precision ±0.1 °C); units are degrees Celsius (°C).
Mass is measured using a digital balance (usually to two decimal places); balance must be tared before use and allowed to settle.
Volume of liquid is measured with burettes (most accurate for variable volumes, 0–50 cm³), volumetric pipettes (most accurate for fixed volumes, e.g. 10 cm³ or 25 cm³), or measuring cylinders (for approximate volumes).
Volume of gas is measured using a gas syringe (more precise) or by downward displacement of water (not suitable for soluble gases).
When reading a burette, read from the bottom of the meniscus; the scale runs from 0.00 cm³ at the top to 50.00 cm³ at the bottom.

Apparatus for measuring volume

Solutions

Solvent: the liquid in which a solute dissolves (e.g. water in seawater).
Solute: the substance that dissolves in a solvent (e.g. salt in seawater).
Solution: the mixture formed when a solute dissolves in a solvent (e.g. seawater).
Saturated solution: contains the maximum concentration of solute dissolved at a given temperature.
Soluble substances dissolve; insoluble substances do not dissolve.
Filtrate: the liquid that passes through a filter; residue: the solid left behind after filtration or evaporation.

Acid-Base Titrations

Titration determines the concentration of an acid or alkali by neutralisation; can also be used to prepare salts.
Apparatus: 25 cm³ volumetric pipette, pipette filler, 50 cm³ burette, 250 cm³ conical flask, funnel, indicator, clamp stand, white tile.
Method: pipette a fixed volume of alkali into a conical flask, add indicator, then add acid from the burette while swirling until the endpoint (sharp colour change).
Record burette readings to the nearest 0.05 cm³; repeat until two concordant results (within 0.1 cm³) are obtained.
Common indicators: methyl orange (red in acid, yellow in alkali, orange at endpoint) and phenolphthalein (colourless in acid, pink in alkali).
Common errors: not removing the funnel from the burette, not filling the jet space, and reading the burette from the top of the meniscus.
