|Assigned Temperature |20°C |

|Amount of borax obtained |5.0417 g |

Temperature before adding 5.00 ml to trial beakers

|Trial Beaker 1 |19.2° C |

|Trial Beaker 2 |19.0° C |

|Trial Beaker 3 |19.6° C |

|Trial Beaker 4 |19.1° C |

|Trial Beaker 5 |19.2° C |

Titration of borax solution

|Trial |Starting point on burette |Ending point on burette |Amount of HCl used to reach endpoint |

|1 |4.25 ml |9.65 ml |5.40 ml |

|2 |9.65 ml |15.10 ml |5.45 ml |

|3 |15.10 ml |20.45 ml |5.35 ml |

|4 |20.45 ml |25.75 ml |5.30 ml |

|5 |25.75 ml |31.05 ml |5.30 ml |
