Dilute sulfuric acid can be used to make soluble and insoluble salts.
A student plans an experiment to obtain a pure, dry sample of the soluble salt, sodium sulfate, from dilute sulfuric acid.
The student does a titration to find the volume of sulfuric acid needed for complete reaction with the other reactant.
Describe the steps he should take in his titration. Refer to these pieces of apparatus in your answer:
The diagram shows the burette readings in one titration.
Use these readings to complete the table, giving all values to the nearest 0.05 cm30.05\text{ cm}^30.05 cm3.

The student plans a different experiment to obtain a pure, dry sample of the insoluble salt, barium sulfate, from dilute sulfuric acid.
Describe the steps he should take in his experiment.
