Titration of an Unknown Potassium Halide Against Silver Nitrate Apparatus * 250cm3 volumetric flask + 0.3cm3 * 25cm3 pipette + 0.06cm3 * Filler * Conical flask * 50cm3 burette + 0.05cm3 * Retort stand and burette holder Chemicals * 1.035g + 0.001g unknown potassium halide * Distilled water * 0.1moldm-3 Potassium chromate indicator * 0.05moldm-3 Silver Nitrate Solution Data Collection Mass of solid white Unknown potassium Halide used: 1.035g +0.001g. This was made up to a 250cm3 colourless solution. 0.1moldm-3 yellow potassium chromate indicator was used in this titration. The end point was judged to be when a dark pink precipitate started to form.
