A student performed a titration to determine the concentration of a solution of hydrochloric acid. The
student used a standard solution of potassium hydroxide with a concentration of 0.5 moldm -3 and added
hydrochloric acid to 20 cm3 of sodium hydroxide solution. The results of the experiment are shown in the
table below:
