For some jobs, "good enough" is good enough. That's sometimes true in chemistry. More often, though, careful planning, calculations, measurement, and laboratory work are necessary to get the desired result. Imagine two tasks that would involve a chemical reaction of some sort. For one, measurement is not all that critical. For the other, careful stoichiometry and laboratory process is essential. Identify and describe two tasks (projects, operations, devices, etc.) that differ in this way.

For the first task, lighting a campfire can be used. Quantities of firestarter and kindling do not need to be precise. For the second task, the process of titration can be used. In a titration, the precise amount of a substance may be determined by adding a precise amount of a reactive species
