-Using a 10.0mL volumetric pipette, pipette exactly 10.0mL of 0.1M HCL into toothpaste/water solution.
-Add a stir bar, heat and stir for 5 minutes on hot plate remove from heat and let cool to the touch.
-Add a few drops of Phenolphthalein indicator.
-Start adding your titrant (0.10M NaOH in buret) slowly check the pH after every 1
mL of titrant
added. Record both the following and pH. When solution starts to turn pink but return to transparent, clear
after swirling, add slower (drop-wise perhaps).
-After end point has been reached, record the final pH and final volume.
-Continue adding titrant, an additional 4 mL of titrant. Again checking the pH after every 1 mL has been
added. Record the pH and volume each time.
-Repeat experiment 2 more times. This will give a total of 3 separate titrations.
-Dispose of your waste in large beaker provided, do not dispose of down the drain. Leave left over NaOH
solution in buret after use.

DISCUSSION
At first, we added acid that is HCL to the initial sample because an acid that we added in will
reacts with calcium carbonate, so we have to make sure that there is enough acid. Therefore, we need to
add more acidic before the solution reacts with sodium hydroxide. Then we heat up the solution because
the purpose of heating the solution is to increase the solubility rate. [5] When a solid dissolved in liquid,
heat is required to break to break the bond that holding the molecules in solid together. So, heating the
solution will make toothpaste melt faster. Afterwards, we dropped an indicator. In this experiment, we
used Phenolphthalein as an indicator. Phenolphthalein is an indicator that has no colour, and it will remain
the same colour when we add acid in it.[6] But when we added NaOH that is basic to the solution until it
reached an end point, the colour of the solution will change to a pink. Then we started to titrate by
dropped NaOH slowly until the colour of a solution turns to pink. Phenolphthalein is an indicator that has
no colour, and it will remain the same colour when we add acid in it. But when we added NaOH that is
basic to the solution until it reached an end point. The color of a solution will change to pink, which mean
the acid and basic mixed in exactly right proportions to neutralise each other this called Endpoint. [3]
And the particular mixture when two solutions mixed in exactly equation proportion is known as the
equivalent point this called Equivalence point. [3] We performed three replicates because we want to
make sure that our results dont have any errors. If an experiment cannot be repeated to produce the same
results, this implies that the original results might have been in error. It is common for a single experiment
to be performed multiple times, especially when there are uncontrolled variables or other indications of
experimental error.
CONCLUSION
According to our results, its shown that our hypothesis was correct because the indicator changed
it color when the pH of dissolved solution is about 8 to 9. Moreover, our initial example is a base so when
the initial example dissolved. It will became a base dissolved solution and when we want that to become
an acid, we need to put acid in a large amount to change it to the acid. On the other hand, in the back
titration, using a few drops of NaOH is enough for this reaction.
