Titration Apparatus: Types, Uses, and Diagrams

Science >> Science Discoveries > >> Chemistry

Apparatus used in titration:

1. Burette: A calibrated glass tube with a stopcock at the bottom. It is used to deliver a known volume of liquid reagent to the reaction vessel.

2. Pipette: A calibrated glass tube used to transfer a specific volume of liquid. Pipettes come in various sizes and types, including serological pipettes, graduated pipettes, and micropipettes.

3. Volumetric flask: A flat-bottomed glass container with a narrow neck. It is used to prepare solutions with precise volumes.

4. Beaker: A cylindrical glass container with a pouring spout. Beakers are used to hold and mix liquids.

5. Erlenmeyer flask: A conical glass flask with a narrow neck. Erlenmeyer flasks are used to contain and mix solutions.

6. Graduated cylinder: A tall, cylindrical glass container with a calibrated scale. Graduated cylinders are used to measure the volume of liquids.

7. Analytical balance: A sensitive balance used to measure the mass of solids and liquids.

8. pH meter: A device used to measure the pH (acidity or basicity) of a solution.

9. Magnetic stirrer: A device used to stir solutions using a magnetic stirring bar.

10. Hot plate: A heating device with a flat surface. Hot plates are used to heat solutions.
