Titration is a means of determining the properties of one
chemical by observing the change brought about by the addition of
another, known solution. Of course, this program is likely to be
of interest to chemistry students.
I was a bit doubtful while loading the program. A cassette
insert of flimsy paper with the title on it and a self adhesive
label on the cassette itself, do not give a tremendous impression,
but when it loaded, I was pleasantly surprised.
The instructions are very scant and I think this cassette is best
used alongside a text book.
There are details of 10 indicators that you can use in the simulated
titration and the whole thing is totally menu-driven. There is also a
worksheet which gives you six questions or things to do using the
program and claims that these are A-level questions. All I can say is
that I must be brighter than even I thought I was!
A good tape and a good idea that could, and should, be taken much
further.
