Question

Maya, a student, performs a titration. She completes the following steps as part of her titration procedure. 1. She cleans and rinses a burette with base solution. 2. She fills the burette with standardized base solution. 3. She adds a base from a burette to an acid. 4. She observes a color change in the Erlenmeyer flask. 5. She continues to add more base. Based on the above procedure, will she obtain accurate results?

Answer 1

The answer is No, because she did not stop adding base once the color changed. Hope that helps, don't know for sure if it's the correct answer. First, time answering this. 

Answer 2

Answer: No, she will not obtain the accurate result.

Explanation:

Mistake in the Maya's procedure was that she continues to add more base. This is because the base from the burette is added until the color change in the solution of Erlenmeyer flask is observed.

After the color change the addition of base is stopped as more addition of the base from the burette will hide the End point of the titration and will also give wrong results during calculation.
