Sample Problem
•
In this sample titration, we are trying to
determine the concentration of 20.00 mL
of HCl. In the titration we will be
neutralizing the HCl with 0.150 M NaOH.
•
Step 1: The NaOH, the titrant, is placed in
the buret. The titrant is the solution of
known concentration that is added from the
buret.
•
Step 2: The HCl is placed in the
Erlenmeyer flask along with approximately
20.00 mL of distilled water and 2-3 drops of
phenolphthalein indicator. Since the
solution in the flask is acidic,
phenolphthalein is colourless.
