NaOH Titration Vocabulary

Flashcards for key vocabulary related to NaOH concentration determination by titration.

Titration

A process used to determine the concentration of a solution by reacting it with a solution of known concentration.

NaOH

Sodium hydroxide, a chemical compound whose concentration is determined through titration in this experiment.

HCl

Hydrochloric acid, a solution with a known concentration (0.10 mol/L) used to titrate the NaOH solution.

Fenolftaleïne

An indicator used in the titration to visually determine the endpoint of the reaction (colorless).

Buret

A piece of lab equipment used to accurately dispense a known volume of liquid, used in this experiment to deliver the HCl solution.

Erlenmeyer flask

A conical flask used to hold the solution being titrated (NaOH) during the titration process.

M/V%
