To measure accurately how much acid and alkali react together completely.
1 of 11
What is the point at which an acid-base reaction is complete called?
The end point of the reaction.
2 of 11
What is used to show the end point of the reaction between an acid and an alkali?
An indicator.
3 of 11
What occurs when solutions of an acid and an alkali react to form a slat and water?
A neutralisation reaction takes place, the volumes of solutions that react exactly can be found by using a titration.
4 of 11
How is a titration done?
A pipette is used to measure accurately the volume of alkali that is put into a conical flask. An indicator is added to the alkali. A burette is filled with acid, which is then added gradually to the flask.

What is the difference between a pipette and a burette?
A pipette measures a fixed volume, has a single graduation, and has no tap whereas a burette measures different volumes, has graduations and a tap.
6 of 11
What does it mean when the indicator changes colour?
The end point has been reached.
7 of 11
How is the volume of acid used found?
From the initial and final burette readings.
8 of 11
Why should the titration be done several times?
To improve the repeatability of the results.
9 of 11
Why is an indicator needed in acid-alkali titrations?
To show when the end point is reached or when the reaction is complete or when the acid and alkali have reacted exactly.
