Outline the procedure of a titration experiment to determine the concentration of ammonia in the organic layer.

NB: Given 0.010 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid, methyl orange indicator and lab apparatus commonly used for titration.
  1. Fill up a burette with 50.00cm3 of 0.010mol/dm3 HCl
  2. Using a dry pipette, transfer 10.0 cm3 of the organic layer into a 250cm3 conical flask.
  3. Using a measuring cylinder, add 20 cm3 of deionised water into the conical flask, then add 2-3 drops of methyl orange
  4. Titrate the resulting mixture against 0.010mol/dm3 HCl until the colour of methyl orange changes from yellow to orange.
  5. Repeat the titration until 2 consistent readings are obtained.
