A student carries out a titration using a standard solution of sulfuric acid to determine the concentration of a sample of potassium hydroxide.
The table shows their results:
| Trial 1 | Trial 2 | Trial 3 | Trial 4 | Trial 5 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Final burette reading (cm3\text{cm}^3cm3) | 20.05 | 19.20 | 19.80 | 19.05 | 19.55 |
| Initial burette reading (cm3\text{cm}^3cm3) | 1.15 | 0.85 | 1.25 | 0.95 | 1.10 |
| Volume of acid added (cm3\text{cm}^3cm3) | 18.90 | 18.35 | 18.55 | 18.10 | 18.45 |
Concordant results are defined as those that differ by 0.20 cm3 or less.
Identify which trials are concordant.
Use the concordant results to calculate the average (mean) volume of acid added.
