BuretCleaning

Make sure to always keep the tip above the countertop so it does not break

a. Put a small amount of DI water in the buret, and drain it out of the tip.

b. Close the valve, put more DI water in the buret, and empty it out the top while turning the buret to clean all sides.

a. Use the same procedures that were used for the DI water

a. Hold the buret upright with the valve on the bottom

b. Attach the buret to the stand with a clamp by pushing the middle tong away from the other two and sliding the buret in

a. Make sure the valve is closed, and there is nothing underneath the buret

b. Put some of the chemical into a beaker

c. Pour the chemical in against the sides of the buret so it drips down and does not splatter

d. Now put the solution you will be adding to under the buret.

a. You need to record the initial volume in the buret. Look at the bottom of the meniscus to get an accurate measurement.

b. After you have let out all the chemical you need to for the experiment, record your final amount of solution in the buret.

c. Subtract the final measurement from the initial measurement to find out how much chemical you used

a. Pour the left over chemical (from the buret) back into the original container either through the tip (a little left) or the top (a lot left). Ask Mr. Mcleod where to dump the solution you created during hte experiment

b. Rinse the buret with DI water exactly as you did in the beginning. Repeat rinse several times
