Abstract

Quantitative Techniques in Volumetric Analysis is a visual library of techniques used in making volumetric measurements. This 40-minute VHS videotape is designed as a resource for introducing students to proper volumetric methods and procedures. The entire tape, or relevant segments of the tape, can also be used to review procedures used in subsequent experiments that rely on the traditional art of quantitative analysis laboratory practice. The techniques included are:

Quantitative transfer of a solid with a weighing spoon

Quantitative transfer of a solid with a finger held weighing bottle

Quantitative transfer of a solid with a paper strap held bottle

Quantitative transfer of a solid with a spatula

Examples of common quantitative weighing errors

Quantitative transfer of a solid from dish to beaker to volumetric flask

Quantitative transfer of a solid from dish to volumetric flask

Volumetric transfer pipet

A complete acid-base titration

Hand technique variations
