We are pleased to invite your students (Stage 1 and Stage 2) to take part in the 2025 Northern Territory Titration Competition.

The preliminary round will be run at schools. We will supply the known and unknown samples to schools, based on the number of teams from each school. The final round of the competition will be held at Charles Darwin University (CDU) labs.

Schools are invited to enter Year 11 and 12 students in teams of three into the Titration Competition. The aim of the competition is to encourage students who enjoy Chemistry and to recognise proficiency in the practical side. Leading teams in the preliminary round of the competition will be eligible to enter the Finals of the Competition. Entrants compete in teams of three (3).

Students can conduct the preliminary round of titration competition at their own school. A known amount of potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) and an unknown sample of KHP will be provided to schools for the preliminary round.
