step one
wash and rinse a pipette with the alkali being used
1 of 13
step two
use the pipette to measure out a known and accurate volume of the alkali
2 of 13
step three
place the alkali in a clean, dry conical flask
3 of 13
step four
add a suitable indicator e.g. methyl orange pink in acid, yellow in nuetral
4 of 13
step five
place the flask on a white tile so the colour can be seen clearly
5 of 13
step six
place the acid in a burette that has been carefully washed and rinsed with the acid
6 of 13
step seven
take a reading of the volume of acid in the burette (initial reading)
7 of 13
step eight
carefully add the acid to the alkali, swirling the flask to thoroughly mix
8 of 13
step nine
continue until the indicator just changes colour. this is called the end point.

step ten
take a reading of the volume of acid in the burette (final reading)
10 of 13
step eleven
calculate the volume of the acid added (i.e. subtract the initial from the final reading)

hazards and risks
acids and alkalis can damage the skin or eyes, so eye protection must be worm and any spillages wiped up.
