1. A technician is given the task of calibrating a calcium hydroxide solution with an approximate concentration of 0.01M using freshly calibrated 0.05M HCl. Propose an experiment that the technician can do in the laboratory to calibrate the sodium hydroxide solution. Using mock data and following the outline of the report sheets for the laboratory sessions, show how you could calculate the concentration of the calcium hydroxide based on the experiment described.
Mark allocation:
