Question

True or False. Correct the false statements. a. The substance in the burette is known as analyte. ( ) b. The acid is always placed in the conical flask. ( ) c. The concentration of the analyte is unknown. ( ) d. The reading of the volume taken from the burette is the end point( ) e. The use of the indicator is to know the concentration of the analyte ( ) f. The main error in the titration process is when too much titrant is added. ) g. The substance in the conical flask is said to be neutralized by the substance in the burette. ( )

Answer 1

a) The titrant is placed at the burette and analyte in the conical flask. So, False.

b) False. Depends on the primary standard.

c) True. Only the volume of the analyte in conical is known, not the concentration.

d) True. The starting point and end point is measured from burette.

e) False. Indicator is used to see the change in color that will tell us about the end point.

f) True. A mistake in seeing the color change can cause addition of more titrant to the system and thus increasing the error.

g) True.
