6. During the titration, splatter from the drops of NaOH splashed some of the KHP solution onto the sides of the Erlenmeyer flask. If the student did not rinse these droplets back down into the solution with distilled water, how would that have affected the calculation of concentration of NaOH

A titration is an analytical procedure used to determine the concentration of a sample by reacting it with

a standard solution. One type of titration uses a neutralization reaction, in which an acid and a base

react to produce a salt and water.

In a titration, the standard solution goes in a buret, which is a piece of glassware used to measure the

volume of solvent to approximately 0.1 mL of accuracy. The solution that you are titrating goes in an

Erlenmeyer flask, which should be large enough to accommodate both your sample and the standard

solution you are adding.
