Acids donate $$\(\mathrm{H}^{+}\)$$in aqueous solution. The number of moles of $$\(\mathrm{H}^{+}\)$$donated per mole of acid is the proticity of the acid. For example, sulfuric acid is diprotic as it donates two moles of $$\(\mathrm{H}^{+}\)$$per mole of acid. In this experiment you will carry out a titration to determine the proticity of citric acid, $$\(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{8} \mathrm{O}_{7}\)$$. FB 1 is aqueous citric acid containing $$\(7.50 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{dm}^{-3} \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{8} \mathrm{O}_{7}\)$$. FB 2 is aqueous sodium hydroxide containing $$\(4.50 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{dm}^{-3} \mathrm{NaOH}\)$$. FB 3 is thymolphthalein indicator. A student uses a pipette labelled $$\(25.0 \pm 0.06 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}\)$$ to measure FB 1 . The student suggests that it is more accurate to measure the volume of $$\(\mathbf{F B} \mathbf{1}\)$$ with a burette instead of the pipette. State whether the student's suggestion is correct. Explain your answer. .
