Acid–base back titration | 16–18 years
By Sandrine Bouchelkia and Jo Haywood
Write balanced equations and calculate reacting masses and moles to find the limiting reagent
Learners should successfully carry out the practical experiment, write relevant balanced equations and utilise these to carry out mole calculations. Develop your A-level and equivalent learners practical and quantitative chemistry skills by tasking them to draw their findings together in a conclusion and evaluation, comparing their experimental and theoretical data. Find the answers in the teacher notes and use the accompanying mole calculator spreadsheet to check learners’ calculations to make sure they’ve found the correct limiting reagent too.
