It is use for titrations, where the solution in the burette is called the titrant. When the stopcock valve is aligned with the burette, as shown in Figure 1, the valve is in the open position and the titrant flows from the burette into the collecting vessel. Rotate the stopcock valve 90 degrees to close the valve. A commonly used burette in our lab delivers a total volume of 50 mL and is calibrated in 0.1 mL increments. This means that the finest division on the burette is 0.1 mL (Figure 2). When reading the burette, the last digit is the digit where you estimate to within the finest division. Therefore, a burette reading of the 50 mL burette is recorded to two decimal places. Steps to prepare and use a burette: A burette is usually stored with distilled water and capped. Empty the burette of distilled water from the top and check that the stopcock is liquid-tight. If the stopcock feels loose when it is turned, hold onto the stopcock handle and rotate the screw clockwise to tighten. The stopcock should rotate smoothly. If it doesn’t, you should disassemble the stopcock to clean the stopcock and where it touches the glass surface of the burette. Reassemble the stopcock with all its parts as laid out in Figure 3. Close the stopcock and using a small beaker, add approximate 10 mL of the titrant from the top. Hold the burette horizontally, rotate the burette to ensure the titrant touches the interior surface of the burette. Open the stopcock to allow t
