It seems like you're referring to a titration experiment, where a solution of known concentration (usually in the burette) is used to determine the concentration of another solution. Here’s how you could set up and perform a typical titration:
1. **Preparation**:
- Fill the burette with solution A (the titrant) and make sure there are no air bubbles present in the burette or the tip.
- Measure 20 cm³ or 25 cm³ of the other solution (the analyte) into a clean conical flask.
2. **Add Indicator**:
- If needed, add a few drops of an appropriate indicator to the analyte solution in the conical flask. The choice of indicator depends on the type of acid-base titration you are performing. For example, phenolphthalein is commonly used for a strong acid to strong base titration.
3. **Performing the Titration**:
- Place the conical flask on a white tile beneath the burette to better observe the color change.
- Slowly open the burette tap to allow solution A to flow into the conical flask while continuously swirling the flask to mix the solutions.
- As you approach the endpoint (indicated by a color change in the solution), add the titrant (solution A) more slowly and dropwise.
4. **Determining the Endpoint**:
- The endpoint is reached when the color change persists (for example, from colorless to pink if using phenolphthalein). At this point, note the volume of solution A that has been added.
5. **Calculations**:
- Use the volume of the titrant added and its concentration to calculate the concentration of the analyte in the conical flask using the formula:
\[
C_1V_1 = C_2V_2
\]
where \(C_1\) and \(V_1\) are the concentration and volume of the titrant and \(C_2\) and \(V_2\) are the concentration and volume of the analyte.
6. **Repeat**:
- It’s often good practice to repeat the titration several times to ensure that your results are consistent.
