Chemistry

Titration Stakes

On Tuesday 19 June, Bernard Masillones, Reshan Rajan and Ethan Ricafranca represented St Norbert College in the Royal Australian Chemical Institute’s (RACI) annual Titration Stakes. The ‘stakes’ were high as the competition tested their practical skills and knowledge of acid and base chemistry with the goal of finding the concentrations of three acetic acid solutions. The boys competed against 77 other teams from 50 schools across the wider Perth metropolitan area and placed 33rd in a competition where the results came down to the fourth decimal place.

The students are to be commended for their enthusiasm, maturity, and dedication towards the competition.

Thank you to our lab technician Ms Debbie Nugent for preparing the practice solutions and glassware for the competition.
