<span style="display: inline !important;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">** Sometimes it becomes very hard to control your actions and your first thoughts. When we started doing titrations, Emily and I were consistently ** unsuccessful <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">** **when it came to trying to get the right amount of base from the burette into the acid so the color would change from pink to colorless. This is because at first thought we believed it would be very long before the color would change, so we would let the burette drop really fast, only to find out the color changed as we were stirring it, and we were definitely 10 drops over board. So we decided to redo it, and try to be more accurate. On our second attempt we had a general idea of where we were, so we sped up the process until we go there, then we slowly added drops until the color change. This time we felt like we had it, and the color changed, and no additional drops fell into the flask. However, after looking at our data, the amount of drops on our second trial was more than our first trial. We knew there had been some mistake, so we decided to re do this whole process for a third time.** ** <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
