quick titration question

[kettles]

hey guys just an easy question.


Does the known solution(standard solution) or unknown solution go into the burette?  Also, which goes into the conical flask.



Is there a particular site of some sort that clarifies the safety, errors in titration?

The solution of known concentration goes in the burette so you can measure how much reacted with the unknown (in the conical flask). http://www.titrations.info/titration-errors has some sources of error, I haven't read it all though. I think from memory Heinemann Chemistry 1 had a section on how drops of water, misreading of burette etc. could affect the result, maybe have a look at that if you can.

thanks alot lpe

in one of the questions im doing it says the burrete was filled with the unknown solution. Does this mean that it can be done either way

[Reckoner]

I suppose so, but I haven't come across that in a question before, I've found it to usually be standard in the burette. You still can calculate the concentration, so it doesn't really matter that much.

It doesn't really matter, right?

It doesn't matter. As long as you know the volume of both and the concentration of one, you can eventually work out the concentration of the other, through molar ratios and whatnot.
