Introduction:

The goal of this experiment is to learn how to properly standardize an acidic solution of which we do not know the exact concentration. A secondary goal is to properly learn how to titrate a solution.

I hypothesize that by titrating the unknown solution with a standardized titrant, one can then use the data gathered by this to learn exactly how much titrant was needed to reach equilibrium, and many moles of the titrant were required to completely react with the solution of unknown concentration. By taking the stoichiometric ratios of these compounds into account, we can then calculate the concentration of the unknown solution by using the formula:
