SUMMARY
The discussion clarifies the distinct roles of pipettes and burettes in titration processes. A pipette, specifically a volumetric pipette, is used to accurately transport a fixed volume of the aqueous reactant to the flask, while a burette is utilized to deliver the titrant and measure the volume needed to reach the equivalence point. Both instruments, along with a flask, are essential for conducting titrations effectively. Additionally, a magnetic stirrer is recommended for ensuring proper mixing of the solution during the titration.
