Acidic Solutions INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this assignment is to find the accurate concentration of a solution of sulphuric acid acid of which concentration is thought to be between 0.05 and 0.15moldm-3 . I am provided with solid anhydrous sodium carbonate and a range of indicators. I have to plan and carry out an experiment to determine the accurate concentration of the sulphuric acid in order to meet the requirement for the assessment of my experimental skills in unit 2852/02 courswork.
