Apparatus for Measurements

  • Time is measured using a stopwatch or stopclock, accurate to 1 or 2 decimal places; units are seconds or minutes.
  • Temperature is measured with a thermometer (precision ±0.5 °C) or digital temperature probe (reads to 0.1 °C).
  • Mass is measured using a digital balance (reads to 2 decimal places); always tare (zero) before use.
  • Volume of liquid is measured with burettes (most accurate for variable volumes, 0–50 cm³), volumetric pipettes (most accurate for fixed volumes, e.g. 25 cm³), or measuring cylinders (for approximate volumes).
  • Volume of gas is measured using a gas syringe (more precise) or downward displacement of water (not for soluble gases).
  • Read the bottom of the meniscus for accurate liquid volume readings; burette scale reads 0.00 cm³ at the top.

Solutions Terminology

  • Solvent: the liquid in which a solute dissolves (e.g., water in seawater).
  • Solute: the substance that dissolves (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 at a given temperature.
  • Soluble: a substance that will dissolve (e.g., salt in water).
  • Insoluble: a substance that will not dissolve (e.g., sand in water).
  • Filtrate: the liquid that passes through a filter (e.g., fresh coffee in a cup).
  • Residue: the substance left after filtration, evaporation, or distillation (e.g., coffee grounds).

Acid-Base Titrations: Purpose & Apparatus

  • Titrations determine the concentration of an acid or alkali by neutralisation.
  • They can also be used to prepare salts.
  • Key apparatus: 25 cm³ volumetric pipette, pipette filler, 50 cm³ burette, 250 cm³ conical flask, small funnel, white tile, clamp stand.
  • A suitable indicator (e.g., methyl orange or phenolphthalein) is used to show the endpoint.

Titration Method

  • 1. Use a pipette to transfer exactly 25 cm³ of alkali into a conical flask.
  • 2. Fill the burette with acid using a funnel; run a little through the tap to remove air bubbles.
  • 3. Record the initial burette reading to the nearest 0.05 cm³.
  • 4. Place the flask on a white tile; add a few drops of indicator.
  • 5. Perform a rough titration by adding acid in 1–3 cm³ portions while swirling.
  • 6. Near the endpoint, add acid drop by drop until a sharp colour change occurs.
  • 7. Record the final burette reading; calculate the titre (volume added).
  • 8. Repeat until two concordant results (within 0.1 cm³) are obtained.

Common Indicators

  • Methyl orange: red in acid, yellow in alkali, orange at neutral.
  • Phenolphthalein: colourless in acid, pink in alkali, colourless at neutral.
  • Litmus: red in acid, blue in alkali, purple at neutral (not suitable for titrations due to gradual change).
  • Thymolphthalein: colourless in acid, blue in alkali.

Common Titration Errors

  • Not removing the funnel from the burette – can cause extra liquid to drip in, giving false high readings.
  • Not filling the jet space (the part below the tap) – leads to inaccurate volume measurements.
  • Reading the burette incorrectly – always read from the bottom of the meniscus; scale is 0.0 cm³ at top.
  • Using a wide-range indicator (e.g., litmus) – does not give a sharp colour change at the endpoint.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Apparatus

  • Temperature probe: more precise, easy to automate, but can be corroded and expensive.
  • Volumetric pipette: accurate fixed volume, but harder to use and only one volume.
  • Gas syringe: easy to set up, keeps gas dry, but can stick, limited volume, fragile.
  • Microscale experiments: less wasteful, safer, but hard to observe and product loss in purification.

Planning an Experiment

  • Choose apparatus suitable for the required accuracy and volume.
  • Ensure the method allows for repeat readings and concordant results.
  • Consider safety, waste, and time constraints.
  • Check that the range of measurements is appropriate for the investigation.
