when u do an acid base titration, does the solution with the unkown concentration go in the pippette or burette? please help..i have an exam 2mrw...thanks

Unknown solution is to be taken in burette. The solution whose concentration is known is taken in pipette. And we have to find out the quantity of the unknown solution reqd. to neutralize the known solution and hence find the concentration of the unknown solution....

Common Acids: Ammonia Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) Lemon Juice Coffee Orange Juice (Ascorbic acid) Common Bases: Bleach Baking Soda (sodium bicarbonate) milk of magnesia NaOH (sodium hydroxide) if i didn't list enough, i apologize. I don't know how in depth you wanted me to go. If you look at the chemical formulas of acids and bases, keep in mind that most acids have an H+ group (a positive hydrogen ion) and most bases have an OH- group (also known as a negative hydroxide ion) for example, hydrochloric acid is made of H+ and Cl-, forming HCl However, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is made of an Na+ ion, and the OH- ion, making it a base. Hope this helped!

the unknown solution (or analyte) goes into a pipette... that is, you measure its volume using a pipet and put it in a flask (usually volumetric/erlenmeyer) afterwards... the solution of known concentration (either a strong acid or a strong base, that is called the TITRANT) goes into the burette.... you gradually put/drop the titrant into the analyte using the burette...

In the pipette, you can measure the volume you will check and the burette measures the quantity accurately
