It was apparent that the goal of the lab was to determine the molarity of NaOH through separate trials using bromothymol blue as the indicator. It was expected for the results to conclude that the molarity of NaOH is 0.50M. For trial 1, 0.50M of NaOH was calculated, in trial 2 it was a 0.28M of NaOH and trial 3’s results concluded with 0.54M of NaOH. The results of trial 1 and 3 resemble the most similar and consistent to the expected results of the experiment.
Discussion of Theory:
The lab as able to determine the concentration of NaOH by neutralizing the solution with HCl, a solution which its concentration was already known, this process is called titration. It works by neutralizing a solution from a weak acid/base and its
