During this experiment the change in pH of Citric acids is measured from start to equilibrium in mL. This experiment was tested by titration it had two separate trials. Through observations it was shown that the more concentrated acids needed more drops of NaOH to reach its equilibrium then the less concentrated acids. Introduction Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is a strong base and when it is titrated with a strong acid the equivalence point will be expected to be a pH of 7 (wyzant.com‚ Feb. 12). NaOH
