Titration

Part of the Acids and Bases section of Coddy's Chemistry journey. Lesson 21 of 30.

A titration: a measured volume in a flask with indicator, the other solution added from a burette until the indicator just changes: the end point.

A flask of base with indicator and the acid used to titrate it

A titration

At the end point the moles match the equation. HCl + NaOH is 1 : 1:

c(a) × V(a) = c(b) × V(b)

Challenge

$25\ \mathrm{mL}$ of $0.1\ \mathrm{M}$ HCl is in a flask. What volume of $0.125\ \mathrm{M}$ NaOH from the burette neutralizes it exactly?

Try it yourself

Solve for $V_{b}$

Test yourself
