The burette is a tube made from glass with a fine gradation and has a stopcock at its base. It is usually used to measure liquids accurately in a laboratory with the stopcock used to dispense the liquids. An acid burette is used to dispense an acid into a solution which provides an excess of hydrogen (H) whilst a base burette is used to dispense an alkaline liquid into a solution providing an excess of hydroxide (OH).

∙ 9y agoThe difference between acid and base is in terms of hydrogen and hydroxide ions. Hydrogen ions are supplied by acid while hydroxide ions are supplied by base to a solution. A burette is used to measure the quantity of acid or base.

∙ 11y agoThe notion of having special burets for acidic or alkaline solutions is, frankly, a new one on me. I'd say that, in practice, an "acid buret" is one that happens to contain an acid, and a "base buret" is one that happens to contain an alkali.
That said, a hundred years ago it's possible that there were different types of burets for different solutions, and I suspect the difference was the stopcock. Putting an alkaline solution in a buret with a ground glass stopcock might cause problems, since alkalis can cause ground glass parts to "seize" much more readily than acids can.
Nowadays, most burets have Teflon stopcocks, so this isn't really an issue. A hundred years ago they didn't have teflon, so they probably used one of the alternative methods, like a short length of rubber tubing with a glass ball in it. Squeezing such a tube allows the solution to run out slowly; when it's released, the ball fills the tubing and stops the solution.

Why it is preferred to take acid in burette during acid base titration?
The burette can be filled with either acid or base. The acid will go into the burette only if you want to titrate a base , i.e. you don't know the concentration of the base and want to find out. The solution of known concentration goes always into the burette (in order to be able to measure the volume taken to complete the reaction) and so if you wanted to find out the concentration of an acid you would put the base into the burette.
What is an acid burette?
If you have an acid in your conical flask then the base will go into the burette. The burette is used to measure the amounts of base you are adding and therefore you will be able to determine the end point which is normally determined by a colour change.
What are the function of base burette in laboratory?
Base burettes are used for base titrants. Basically this is used in titrations where the analyte is an acid.
Is a burette the best tool to measure acid?
Yes, a burette is the best tool for measuring acidYes, a burette is the best tool for measuring acid
What is the use of acid and base burette?
The general use of acid/base burettes I am familiar with is to determine the concentration of either the acid or base from the known concentration of the other solution. The two burettes are set side by side, and a quantity of acid is placed into a Erlenmyer flask from the acid filled burette and then the solution from the base filled burette is run into the flask along with indicator to the point of color change. By the amount titrated one can use a simple equality to find the concentration of the unknown solution.

How do you dilute 30 mL of 12 molar hydrochloric acid to a 0.1 molar hydrochloric acid solution?
in order to dilute the acid, you need to have a good pH meter, a burette, ring stand, burette clamp, and base you want to use. You use the formula Ma * Va = Mb * Vb where Ma is molarity of H+, Va is volume of acid, Mb is Molarity of base and Vb is volume of base. you use that formula to calculate amount of base needed to reach 0.1 molar. to get it exactly right, use a burette and do titration
