Question

strong acid and strong base lab:

3. During the analysis, you periodically washed down the sides of the flask with DI water. Why doesn't it matter that you increased the volume of solution in your titration flask'? Be specific; generalized responses will not receive credit. Conclusion (Write a paragraph about the lab include briefly what was done, your result, were you correct and possible experimental errors - (do not just state human and measurement errors as errors. Be specific, which human, which measurement . . .)

Explanation / Answer

We wash the conical flask with water but diultion does not disturb our results as the number of moles taking part in a titreation will remain the same in the flask, irrespctive of volume of water.
