Titration Question

Hey guys, I have a titration assessment coming up (NaOH + acetic acid - where we dilute the acetic acid and titrate it with NaOH to find c(NaOH). Just wondering how to successfully discuss factors such as validity, accuracy, errors, risk assessment and what points I should bring up to maximise my marks. Thanks in advance

Some questions to think about:

For titration what you use to rinse glassware has a very clear link to uncertainty.  What impact would rinsing with the wrong liquid have & why?

Why do you need to obtain concordant results rather than just go with your first one?
What type of uncertainty is accounted for by doing this?

What level of precision does a burrette have?
Why do you dilute the acetic acid?

What's the difference between the end point and the equivalence point?  Which one are you measuring?

To add to miniturtle's advice, also consider the scale of the titration - how would a large scale titration using a larger volumes affect the accuracy of results in comparison to a smaller scale one, which you'd probably did?
