TERM 1
gravimetric analysis
DEFINITION 1
an analytical technique based in the measurement of mass
highly accurate technique because the mass of the sample can
be measured accurately
however, this procedure is applicable only to reactions that go
to completion or have nearly 100% y ield
quantitative method, not qualitative- so it does not establish
the identity of the unknown substan ce
TERM 2
titration
DEFINITION 2
a standard solution is gradually added to another solution of
unknown concentration, until the chemical reaction between
the two solutions is complete
TERM 3
standard solution
DEFINITION 3
a solution of accurately known concentration
TERM 4
equivalence point
DEFINITION 4
where the acid has been completely neutralized
TERM 5
endpoint
DEFINITION 5
an indicator causes a sharp change in the color of the
solution
usually is the signal for the equivalence point
