What is titration?
Titration is used in chemistry to measure the amount of a solution with an unknown concentration which is added to a volume where the concentration is known until the experiment is completed the results of the unknown calculation can be calculated.
Timeline of titration
Titration began in the eighteenth century; it was first founded in France by a German chemist named Karl Fischer where the first burette was created by Francois Antoine Henri Descroizilles. This was the time where the news was spreading to the countries surrounding France. In the year 1855 in Germany the first book to have titration was published by the author called Instructional Book of Titration Methods in Analytical chemistry. The book was published after the last burette was created which was in the year 1824 there were many different types of burettes that were created.
Types of Titration
There are five different types of titrations that are used in different environments and industries; they are Acid-Base Titration, Potentiometric Titration, Redox Titration, Complication Titration and Prec...
Record the volume of the sodium thiosulfate solution used in the titration, and repeat the procedure in a duplicate titration.
taken into account. It is also best to make sure you are working in a
This is an experimental lab that tested if drinking water passes the United States maximum phosphate standard. The results of this lab can help the American who drink the water know if there are too much phosphate in the water. Each group made a Potassium phosphate dilution from a stock solution. The concentration of the solution that needed to made affected the amount of Potassium phosphate that was diluted. To create a calibration curve, each group used the different concentrated Potassium phosphate solutions in their test. The lab utilized a spectrophotometer to figure out the absorbance of the five different Potassium phosphate solution and the absorbance of an unknown concentration solution. The absorbance of the unknown solution was used
The equation shows how 1 mol of Na2CO3 reacts with 1 mol of H2SO4, so
For this experiment, you will add the measured amount of the first sample to the measured amount of the second sample into its respectively labeled test tube then observe if a reaction occurs. In your Data Table, record the samples added to each test tube, describe the reaction observed, if any, and whether or not a chemical reaction took place.
This process allows us to determine the reaction order. When changing the concentration of the one particular reactant we are able to calculate the order based on the change in reaction rate.
However, in order to measure the rates of reaction, sodium thiosulphate and starch are added. Sodium thiosulphate is added to react with a certain amount of iodine as it is made. Without the thiosulphate, the solution would turn blue/black immediately, due to the iodine and starch. The thiosulphate ions allow the rate of reaction to be determined by delaying the reaction so that it is practical to measure the time it takes for the iodine to react with the thiosulphate. After the all the thiosulphate has reacted with the iodine, the free iodine displays a dark blue/black colour with the starch. If t is the time for the blue/black colour to appear, then 1/t is a measure of the initial rate.
It was 1939 was when the use of radioisotope in medical clinics began. This radioisotope was Iodine-131 and it was used in thyroid investigations. Iodine-131 was also later used for treating hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer. After the success of using this radioisotope, other radioactive isotopes became accessible (Keevil).
Urinalysis is a very important tool because it's used to check our overall health including pregnancy. It is also used during presurgical procedures, and hospital admissions to screen for many diseases or disorders such as diabetes, liver and kidney diseases. Urinalysis is done when individuals are suffering pain in lower back, abdominal pain, or painful urination, it can detect if blood is found in the urine. Urinalysis is also used as a monitoring tool for diseases of the kidney, and urinary tract infection. So urinalysis is an important tool for physicians in determining one's overall health, and to screen for certain diseases and disorders.

In chemistry, Colorimetry is used a lot. They use it for things such as colour painting, food manufacturing, and textiles. Colorimetry can also be used to measure light. The amount of light absorbed is called and also is measured as the absorbance which is a use of the coloured solute concentration. To use a colorimeter, different kinds of solutions have to be made, this includes a regulator or orientation of identified concentration.

In this experiment three different equations were used and they are the Stoichiometry of Titration Reaction, Converting mL to L, and Calculating the Molarity of NaOH and HCl (Lab Guide pg. 142 and 143).
