| A
technique called titration is often used to determining the concentration
of ions in solution. Acid-base reactions are often analyzed using
this technique. For this experiment, the base is dispensed into the
acid via a buret while the acid is pre-measured using a pipett.
Completion of the reaction is indicated by a pink color change in the
solution. The molarity of the base and the volumes of the base and
acid are known; the molarity of the acid is then calculated from this
information.
The reaction under investigation is shown below:
