This document provides instructions for titration experiments, including writing the reaction equation, noting the alkali concentration, adding 25cm3 of acid to a flask and alkali to a burette, adding a phenolphthalein indicator, titrating while swirling until two similar volume readings are obtained, recording the initial and final burette volumes to 0.25cm3, ensuring titration readings are within 0.2cm3 of each other, and calculating molar concentrations and conversions when performing dilutions.
