pg. 83
Why wasn't it necessary to dry the Erlenmeyer flasks between samples in the standardization of HCl experiment?
you do not have to dry the flask because you are measuring a definite amount of acid into the flask for each trial & your calculations are based on the exact quantity of acid being added to the flask from the syringe. Therefore, the flask can contain distilled water or distilled water can be added without affecting the experiment
