UNKNOWN ACID AND BASE TITRATION Introduction I found the purpose of this experiment to be use a acid-base titration to determine the concentration of a hydrochloric acid. During this experiment, I came to a summary that acid-base titrations are great to learn about the nature and the solutions of an acid and a base. When the acid and base came together, an equal point was noticed. I was able to find this with the indicator from when it changed colors. That told me it was the end point of the titration. When I added the base to the acid, I noticed that the indicator in the acid turned pink after reaching the end of the titration. Procedure Part 1: *First I had to measure the pH of 0.1 M hydrochloric acid. Get a 100 mL beaker from the equipment menu Right click on the beaker, select chemicals, and add 50 mL of 0.1 M hydrochloric acid. Measure the solution by right clicking on the beaker and choose pH meter *Then I had to measure the pH of 0.1 M sodium hydroxide Get a 100 mL beaker from the equipment menu Right click on the beaker, select chemicals, and add 50 mL of 0.1 M sodium hydroxide. Measure the solution by right clicking on the beaker and choose pH meter Part 2: *First add 35 ml of unknown acid a to 100 mL beaker. Select all chemicals from the toolbar in the chemicals section, choose unknown acid a. Put the volume at 35 mL in a new 100 mL beaker. *Then add two drops of phenolphthalein indicator to the beaker by right clicking, choosing indications, and adding 2 drops of phenolphthalein. * Next is obtaining a 50 mL buret and to fill it 50 mL of 0.1 M NaOH solution. Do this by right-clicking on the working area, select a 50 mL buret, right-click on the buret, and choose Chemicals. * The last step is to Titrat Unknown Acid A with NaOH until the end point. Once again, right click on the working area, right click the beaker,
