I thought you usually knew the aliquot not the titrant (mind you it doesn't matter but I've always used the pipette for the standard solution and the burette for the unknown solution)01,x1,If we don't wash the glassware correctly before commencing our titration, the residual solution within the glassware that is not of the substance that it is supposed to be washed with can alter the pH of the titrant or _____(the name of the other one) and hence affect the accuracy and validity of our experiment. As pH is being changed within the solutions, the known concentration of the titrant becomes unknown, or the concentration of the aliquot is not reflective of the solution it came from.
hey sorry, thats right! got them the wrong way aroundI thought you usually knew the aliquot not the titrant (mind you it doesn't matter but I've always used the pipette for the standard solution and the burette for the unknown solution)
