Question

Strong Acid and Strong Base Lab During the analysis, you periodically washed down the sides of the flask with DI water. Why doesn't it matter that you increased the volume of solution in your titration flask? Be specific; generalized responses will not receive credit. Conclusion (Write a paragraph about the lab include briefly what was done, your result, were you correct and possible experimental errors - (do not just state human and measurement errors as errors. Be specific, which human, which measurement.

Explanation / Answer

After washing by DI water, there is a chance for the presence of water sticking inside the flask, which can case for the dilution of the solution being titrated. As the strength of solution depends upon the volume of solvent present, this adiitional water will decrease the strength of solution and hence, will result as an error during experimental data.
