Answer 1

Some terms commonly used in a laboratory analysis chemistry 101 class include:

1. Titration: A technique used to determine the concentration of a solution by reacting it with a solution of known concentration (titrant) until the endpoint is reached.
2. Spectrophotometry: A method used to measure the concentration of a substance in a solution by measuring the amount of light absorbed or transmitted by the sample.
3. Pipette: A laboratory tool used to accurately measure and transfer small volumes of liquid.
4. Standard solution: A solution of known concentration used for calibrating instruments and determining unknown concentrations.
5. Calibration curve: A graph that shows the relationship between the concentration of a substance and the instrument response, used to determine unknown concentrations.
6. Qualitative analysis: Determining the identity of a substance based on its physical and chemical properties.
7. Quantitative analysis: Determining the amount or concentration of a substance in a sample.
8. Reagent: A substance or mixture used in chemical analysis or synthesis.
9. pH: A measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution, determined by the concentration of hydrogen ions.
