Write down the methods to carry out a titration
- Using a pipette, measure the volume of a solution
- Add the solution into a conic al flask and add an indicator into it
- Add the other solution into a burette and record the volume
- Slowly add the solution in the burette into the conical flask
- Swirl the mixture continuously until the endpoint is reached
- Repeat until concordant results are obtained

Acid - red
Base - yellow
End point - orange
