Assume you titrated 15.00 mL of a 0.100 M NaOH solution to neutralize 25.00 mL of an unknown HCl solution. What is the concentration of HCl? Step 3: Convert to a concentration value using the volume of HCl used
25.00 mL HCl x 1 L HCl / 1000 mL = 0.02500 L HCl Concentration of HCl = 0.00150 moles HCl / 0.02500 L HCl = 0.0600 M HCl

Simplified equation for when mole ratios are 1:1 --
Balanced equation: HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) M acid x V acid = M base x V base M = concentration and V = volume For this problem we are solving for M acid M acid = M base V base / V acid = (0.100 M)(15.00 mL) / 25.00 mL = 0.0600 M HCl
goal
Finding the concentration (Molarity) of an unknown acid or base using Titration
Experimental Procedures Experiment 2: Perform a Fine Titration
Fine Titration: Identifies the volume of titrant needed to reach the end point Stop the titration at about 2 mL before the coarse titration endpoint Then add titrant dropwise to find endpoint within one drop Remember to record initial and final burette volumes and to find volume dispensed: Volume dispensed = Final burette volume - initial burette volume
Assume you titrated 15.00 mL of a 0.100 M NaOH solution to neutralize 25.00 mL of an unknown HCl solution. What is the concentration of HCl? Step 2: Use a balanced equation to convert from moles of NaOH to moles HCl
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) 0.00150 moles NaOH x 1 mol HCl / 1 mol NaOH = 0.00150 moles HCl

IDK
What do you expect to happen if you forget to add phenolphthalein to the Erlenmeyer flask?
If we forgot to add the phenolphthalein to the Erlenmeyer flask, no chemical reaction or color change would occur. Therefore, there will not be a change in the pH in the solution and you will not know the equivalence point either.
titration formula =
M acid x V acid = M base X V base
Calculation of Molarity of Acid
Molarity Acid = Molarity Base x Volume Base / Volume Acid
Molarity Acid x Volume Acid =
Molarity Base x Volume Base
experimental objective
Perform an acid-base titration using a solution of NaOH of known concentration as the titrant and a solution of HCl of unknown concentration as the analyte. You will then use your titration data to determine the concentration of the HCl solution. Balanced equation: HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
what was the indicator used in the experiment?
Phenolphthalein
Experimental Procedures Experiment 1: Perform a Coarse Titration
Step 1: To a 50 mL burette, add 52.00 mL of 0.100 M NaOH, open stopcock and allow about 2.00 mL to flow out in order to make sure there are no bubbles at bottom of burette Step 2: Double click on burette and record initial burette volume, note that it does NOT have to be at 0.00 mL Step 3: Into a 150-mL Erlenmeyer flask, add the prepared acid solution and add your indicator Step 4: Begin coarse titration, adding base until you see color change and record the volume at which you first started seeing the color change and the final volume where color is completely pink
hypotheses
When the solution is neutralized, the moles of acid are equal to the moles of base. This is called the equivalence point. The indicator (phenolphthalein) changes color only at the equivalence point, when neutralized.
Suppose you had to titrate a solution of NaOH of unknown concentration with a solution of HCl of known concentration using phenolphthalein as an indicator. How will you determine the color change?
You would determine the color change by stopping the titration at the faintest pink, as it is closest to the equivalence point. This is expected because phenolphthalein is pink when the pH of the solution is above a pH of 7. The solution will be transparent if HCl has a pH that is greater than the equivalence point.
