Titrimetric Analysis (12:38)

This video shows all the techniques for how to perform a titration for a Capilano University chemistry experiment, including use of a magnetic stirrer, adding indicator, adding titrant rapidly, slowly, dropwise, and by half-drops to reach the endpoint. This video assumes that you have already watched the "Cleaning Rinsing Loading and Reading a Burette" video prior to watching this one.
