DISCUSSION
The point at which the reaction is complete in a titration is referred to as the endpoint. A
chemical substance known as an indicator is used to indicate (signal) the endpoint. The indicator
used in this experiment is phenolphthalein. Phenolphthalein, an organic compound, is colourless
in acidic solution and pink in basic solution.
There are also a few precaution during titration that need to be alert such as make sure there are
no air bubble in the nozzle of the burette before taking the initial reading, make sure to kept in
eye level when taking the reading of the burette or pipette with the liquid surface and make sure
to continuously shake the conical flask when the titration begin.
CONCLUSION
In a nutshell, the exact molarity of hydrochloric acid is 1.10 M. The objective is achieved.
