Victor University of Detroit Mercy Quantitative Analysis Lab CHM 3880 Fall 2011 Partner: Edwin Gay Abstract The PH at each point during the titration of sodium carbonate unknown sample was determined. An Unknown sample of Na2CO3 was titrated with a standard HCL solution. In addition to titration‚ the pH at each point of titration was measured using PH meter. The % of the unknown Na2CO3 was 25.83% Introduction1 The purpose of this experiment

categories of research methodologies‚ the quantitative and the qualitative‚ and they both are used to answer research questions but in different ways. The main distinctions between these approaches lie in foundational premises related to how human beings understand the nature of the world in a better way (Willis‚ 2007). The selection of the approach to be used will depend on the research problem to be analyzed.

measurable data are being gathered and analyzed in quantitative research. Qualitative research focuses on gathering of mainly verbal data rather than measurements. Gathered information is then analyzed in an interpretative manner‚ subjective‚ impressionistic or even diagnostic. Here’s a more detailed point-by-point comparison between the two types of research: 1.
