Why it is OK to prepare the titrant solution so inaccurately?

for a titration? it's not okay

anonymous · Answer

yes ?

jfraser · Answer

If you're using a very well known solution like KHP to calibrate the titrant, you'll determine its exact concentration volumetrically, so you don't have to prepare it precisely the first time

ohh ok thanks.

one more question :S i am filling out my neutralization titration data sheet so, how to do find buret correction(ml) and corrected volume(ml) 

in the lab we have used 50 ml buret  

KHP mass(g) = 0.8528
Titrant Volume (ml) = 41.70

jfraser · Answer

i'm not familiar with those terms, but the volume should be the amount used

jfraser · Answer

since you know the acid used to standardize the titrant is KHP, which has a known molar mass, you can find the MOLES of KHP used. The moles of KHP used will be equal to the moles of base that were dispensed from the buret.
