Indicators and End Points

What colour is an indicator at the end point ?
At what pH does an indicator change colour?
Why is the colour change for an indicator always given as a range of pH values?

These questions are all addressed in AUS-e-TUTE's new Indicator End Point resources.
Read the tutorial, play the game, do the test and view worked solutions for the questions.

Sulfuric Acid - Sodium Hydroxide Titrations

Why does a titration of sulfuric acid using sodium hydroxide have only one equivalence point?
Why isn't the pH 7 at the equivalence point?

These are both excellent questions.

So, we've written a set of resources to help you understand!

AUS-e-TUTE Members should log-in and go to the new tutorial at:
http://www.ausetute.com.au/members/titrh2so4.html
and you can follow the links to the game and test from this page.

Calculating the pH of Sulfuric Acid

How do you calculate the pH of a strong diprotic acid, that is, how do you calculate the pH of sulfuric acid?
I'm glad you asked!
AUS-e-TUTE has just added a new set of resources designed to help you answer this question.

AUS-e-TUTE Members should log-in and go to the links for the Polyprotic Strong Acids tutorial, game and test, on the Test Centre homepage, or, alternatively, go to your AUS-e-TUTE syllabus study guide and follow the links from that.

Titration Techniques

What piece of glassware should you use to make a standard solution?
What should you rinse a burette with before filling it with solution?
Should you force all the solution out of a pipette when you use it?

These and many other questions about Titration Techniques have been addressed in AUS-e-TUTE's new tutorials, games, tests, and exams.

Members should log in to use all these new resources which are listed under Volumetric Analaysis, or, use the links from your Syllabus Study Guide in the Members Only Test Centre.

A "free-to-view" tutorial on titration techniques is currently available for evaluation purposes for non-members: http://ausetute.com.au/titrtech.html
