Before running a titration, you calculate the expected endpoint. However, when performing the experiment, you pass the expected endpoint with no visible color change. What is the most likely problem with the titration set up?
Select one
There is not enough indicator in the analyte.
The buret tip is leaking titrant into the analyle.
The analyte solution is being stirred too quickly
There was an air bubble in the buret tip

Expert Solution

Ans : There is not enough indicator in the analyte

Endpoint in a reaction is observed when the sample changes its color. The change in color of the mixture results due to the presence of a suitable pH indicator.

Now if the experiment has crossed the endpoint with no visible color change , it is possible that there is not enough indicator in the mixture so as to express the color.

A student decides to set up an experiment that night before performing the experiment. A 0.40 g sample of sodium hydroxide in a 250 mL beaker that has a mass of 112.58 g. The beaker is allowed to stand open (exposed to air) for 24 hr. At that time, the student observes that the beaker contains a dry, white residue and the total mass of the beaker and the residue is 113.09 g. He proposes that a reaction must have...

You walk into a room and notice that there someone is running an experiment involving a spring-mass system. You have no idea when the experiment started, but observe that the mass attached to the spring is oscillating with period 3 (seconds) and that the amplitude of the oscillations remain constant (to your naked eye) while you are in the room. What are two differential equations which model the motion of the mass? One system must be inhomogeneous and the other...
