2moldm-3 solution of sodium hydroxide was used and was titrated with a 25.0 mL of dilute
The figure below shows the burette readings of the acid of the initial and final volumes of each titration.
(c) (i) Write a balanced chemical reaction for the reaction that took place.

ii) Use an asterisk (*) to indicate the titration data that should be used to obtain the average titration
volume of Hydrochloric acid used in the experiment. (1 mark)

(iii) Hence, calculate the average volume of hydrochloric acid used in the experiment and convert to dm3
and record the value to two decimal places. (2 marks)
