Titration Competition

Earlier this year, VCE Chemistry students participated in the RACI Titration Competition. 

The competition was tough, with 54 schools entering a total of 364 teams. 

The results for this were released during the week. The three St Joseph’s College teams performed well, with one team earning a silver award. 

Awards are determined by the cumulative percentage error in each team. A silver award means there is a total error of less than 2%, which is quite impressive.

Congratulations to the following teams:

27th – Indi Gleeson, Ella McCormick, Holly Moyle, Sean Tuckerman (1.567% error)

46th – Greer Thomson, Elijah Bruns, Cleo Oberin, Harry Coughlan (2.068% error)

76th – Devlin Lord, Edward Brentnall, Callum Walker, Alec Colturi (4.36% error)
