Conical flask
Burette
20ml Pipette
Indicator
Filling bulb
Base solution of known concetration
Unknown acid sample
Ritort stand
Indicator
Unknown acid sample
Base solution of known concetration
Burette
20 ml Pipette
Filling bulb

Discuss what difference it could make to the results obtained from the first and second titrations if water was in the flask containing an exact volume of unknown solution.

There is no difference between the results. If both titrations were done accurately and the exact volume of unknown acid was used on both occasions then both readings from the burette should be identical.
