In a typical strong acid-strong base titration set-up, which component is used to accurately deliver the titrant to the analyte solution?

• A. Beaker
• B. Erlenmeyer flask
• C. Pipette
• D. Buret

Answer: (D)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Understand the roles of each piece of laboratory equipment in a titration setup: a beaker is generally used to hold or mix solutions but does not deliver precise volumes.
2. Recognize that an Erlenmeyer flask is typically used to contain the analyte solution during titration because its shape allows easy mixing without spilling.
3. Know that a pipette is used to measure and transfer a precise volume of liquid, often the analyte or a standard solution, but it is not used to add titrant gradually during titration.
4. Identify that a buret (or burette) is a long, graduated tube with a stopcock at the bottom, designed to deliver the titrant solution dropwise and with high precision to the analyte solution.
5. Conclude that the buret is the component used to accurately deliver the titrant to the analyte solution in a strong acid-strong base titration.
