In 2024, ALL WA schools (including those who choose not to attend in person at ECU Joondalup or at Curtin) are invited to take part in the WA Titration Competition at their own school. There is no restriction on the number of teams that can be entered in this part of the competition.

"The analysis to be conducted involves preparation of a standard solution of potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) (provided), standardisation of a solution of NaOH, and titration of a second sample of KHP. Judging is based on the values reported for the amount of KHP in the Unknown Sample."

Teachers can choose when the Titration Competition will run in their school. They can hold their competition at any time that suits them (students to have 2 hours to compete), with the final deadline for results to be submitted by the due date. Teams are comprised of three (3) students.

When teachers register, they will be contacted directly to arrange for samples to be sent to them and for them to have an email to return results by the deadline.

Please note:

Early registration is encouraged as the samples will need to be prepared and mailed to schools in advance of the competition.

The closing date for own school entry registrations to be received is Friday 31st May 2024.

The closing date for competition results to be received back from schools via email is Friday 28th June 2024.
