Titration MIT Digital Lab Techniques Manual
[MUSIC PLAYING] PRESENTER: It is used to determine the concentrations of various solutions. In this video, we'll take you through the proper procedure. The number one rule of titration. [ALARM BLARING] A quick review of burette preparation. Please see the volumetric techniques video for more information. Here is the titrant you'll be using. Take your burette and fill it with a few milliliters of titrant. Then tilt and rotate the burette to coat the interior surface with titrant. Finally, allow the burette to drain completely, then fill to above the 0 mark. Firmly and securely clamp the burette to its stand. Hold on a minute, there are air bubbles in the tip.
