In the first process of the titration‚ we added excess HCl and then we had to back titrate it by adding NaOH. We had to do a standardization test because the NaOH has a high reactivity and that could cause a small change. The NaOH solution was supposed to have a molar concentration of .5 however when we standardized the solution we found the actual
