you weigh by difference to minimise the amount of errors because essentially all scales have the same ammount of error on them.

How do you get an accurate titration?

In Titration, to make sure we get a reliable and accurate result at first we will do a rough titration and we would do this by balancing the weigh boat to 0.00, use exact 2.5g of potassium carbonate, make sure the stopper your using is not broken and test it before using it. Look carefully at position of meniscus and it should be read from eye level. Raising the burette and glass pipette for every activity will help to reduce contamination, by doing these procedures we will get accurate results. After 25.9 cm make it drop by drop, to reduce the human error, there should be more than one person to do the experiment so they can get the timing right. Before using the conical flask, water it with distilled water


How do you weigh a wet diaper?

To weigh a wet diaper, first weigh the baby on a scale. Then, remove the wet diaper and weigh the baby again. The difference in weight between the two measurements will give you the weight of the wet diaper.


Why potassium iodate is added to potassium iodide in iodometry titration?

Iodometric titration means the titration of triiodide. Preparation of triiodide can be prepared by adding solid iodine to excess potassium iodide, however since iodine sublimes it is more difficult to weigh than potassium iodate. The triiodide would then need to be standardized with primary standard grade arsenious oxide. A better way is to weigh potassium iodate and add to a small excess of potassium iodide. The two ions (iodide and iodate) will also form the needed triiodide in an acidic environment. If the reagent is made fresh this way it can be used to standardize thiosulfate. Iodide iodate of known normality can also be used to titrate unknown concentrations of sulfite. For example, steam boiler treatment applications.


How do you prepare 0.2N ferrous ammonium sulphate?

To prepare 0.2N ferrous ammonium sulfate, you would weigh out the appropriate amount of ferrous ammonium sulfate hexahydrate based on its molecular weight, dissolve it in distilled water, and then dilute the solution to the desired volume. Finally, check and adjust the concentration if needed by titration or dilution.


How do you use watch glass chemistry?

Watch glass is primarily used in chemistry laboratories as a covering for beakers and flasks to prevent contamination or evaporation of solutions during experiments. It can also be used as a weighing dish or to cover a beaker when heating a solution gently. Additionally, watch glass can be used for evaporating small amounts of liquid.
