The purpose of this experiment was to find the concentration of the unknown base (NaOH) through a titration. In the experiment, it took 0.95 mL of NaOH with a concentration of 0.53 moles to neutralize 5.0 mL of a 0.100 M of HCl. In the expected result, the concentration of the NaOH was 0.50 moles. The percent error for the lab was only 6%, which means the lab had a fairly high accuracy. Differences between the expected results and the actual result would be caused by the sources of error. Both trials resulted in the same concentration, so the precision of the lab was also high.
DISCUSSION OF THEORY:
A titration is used to find the unknown concentration of an acid or base. Based off of the Bronsted-Lowry definition, an acid
