Pipets are used to make accurate volumetric transfers of solutions of a fixed volume. The titration simulation has a set of 5, 10, and 25 mL pipets located in the right laboratory drawer. These pipets are used by (1) double clicking on the desired pipet or dragging the desired pipet to the clamp on the left of the buret, (2) placing the solution (in a beaker) underneath the pipet, (3) clicking on the pipet bulb to draw up the solution, (3) placing an empty beaker underneath the pipet, and (4) clicking on the pipet bulb again to drain the liquid into a separate beaker. Note that the pipets deliver reproducible volumes within the typical errors associated with volumetric glassware, but the volume delivered is not exactly the volume indicated on the selected pipet. The pipets can be calibrated by delivering water into a beaker and then weighing the amount of water delivered by the pipet.
