Titration Lab #1

Our first titration lab was one of my favorite labs so far. Mikayla and I were very focused and committed to getting this lab right. We were given the procedure for the lab, and were told to briefly outline the procedure for our pre-lab question. We both got in no problem. Once we were back in lab, we conducted our standardizing process for our baseline data. Then, we proceeded to test our 10mL of unknown acid to find its molarity. We were looking for a light pink color to indicate that the titration of the acid was complete. Our first day in lab yielded a larger percent error than we were hoping for, so we took to lab the next day to give it one more go. After completing the calculations, Frank told us that we had a zero percent error! It was such an awesome moment because we had worked so hard and put a lot of time and effort into this lab.

Our first attempt (not as good as we'd hoped):

Our second best titration, but still not perfect:

Our best attempt (zero percent error worthy):

  3. Great pictures! Your solutions are the PERFECT light pink color. You can really tell that you guys were very slow and careful when titration. Your hard work paid off!
