Finding out how much acid there is in a solution Aim To find out how much acid there is in the solution of sodium carbonate by using a method called titration. A Titration is a method of quantitative analysis which can be used when two solutions react together. Outline Using an indicator would show me the end point of the titration, but different indicators are suitable for different combinations of strong weak acids and alkalis. Since this reaction involves a strong acid and a weak alkali, a suitable indicator to use will be methyl orange. By finding an average titration I will be able to calculate how much acid there is in a solution. From the titration results the amount of sodium carbonate can be calculated. Then, using the equation N= CxV/1000 ( N= amount of substance in mol, C= Concentration of solution in dm³, V= volume of solution in dm³) to determine...
