Theory
The process of adding base to an acid (or vice versa) to produce a salt and water is called neutralization. In
the neutralization of hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide, the reaction that occurs is:
When an acid and a base are present in stoichiometric amount, for example one mole of sodium hydroxide
is added to one mole of hydrochloric acid as in the above neutralization process, this means that the
equivalent point has been reached in the acid-base system. Suitable indicators can be used to monitor the
end-point (the point at which an indicator changes color) of the titration.
Here, by measuring the volume of the NaOH solution required to react completely with a solution of a
weighed sample of HCl the exact concentration of HCl solution is determined.
Step-II Standardize the supplied HCl solution with the NaOH solution
