The above procedure was repeated a further 2 times NaOH (aq)+ HCl(aq) → H 2 O(l) + NaCl(aq)
Then the entire process was repeated for solution D but
We know that one mole of NaOH is required to react
with phenolphthalein indicator, solution F with methyl
red indicator and solution F with phenolphthalein with one mole of HCl, therefore this is a 1:1 reaction. So
