Lab: Oxidation/Reduction Titration
Titration is an important technique for determining quantities and conc of reactants. Often used in acid/base chemistry. |
For Friday, work on calculations, and work through last section of chapter 4 (144-156). The portion on concentration should be easy, and the portion on titrations relates directly to what we will be doing in lab this week. |
