An investigation to compare the concentrations of some alkalis in saturated solutions. Background Information: Therefore the two can neutralise one another. In this investigation hydrochloric acid and a metal hydroxide solution is used in a titration to determine the concentrations of 4 metal hydroxide solutions at room temperature. A titration is a way of measuring quantities of reactants and is a very useful way of determining an unknown concentration providing the following are known: * The balanced equation for the reaction * The volume of the solution of the first reagent * The concentration of the first reagent * The volume of the solution of the second reagent A titration enables the reacting volumes of two solutions to be accurately determined.1 A strong acid like hydrochloric acid is one that fully dissociates into its ions in an aqueous solution. Many organic acids are described as weak acids. This term means that molecules are only partially ionised in an...
