10. challenge question 2: a few small drops of water are left in a buret that is then used to titrate a base into an acid solution to determine the concentration of the acid. will this small amount of water have any effect on the determined value for the concentration of the acid? if so, how is it affected?

Respuesta :

Yes, this small amount of water will have effect on the determined value for the concentration of the acid.

How small amount of water affect concentration of acid?

Even small amount of water causes an error because the drops of water add to the volume of base, diluting it slightly. This means it will take more base solution to neutralize the acid. This makes it seem as if the acidic solution was of stronger concentration than it actually was.

Method of quantitative analysis for determining the concentration of an acid or base by neutralizing it exactly with a standard solution of base or acid having known concentration is known as an acid–base titration
