So i had my lab period and i was instructed to use methyl orange as my indicator. I did titrate the first time and came up with roughly 34% na2co3 in the unknown.
However, i was running out of lab time, so what i did was massed 3 samples into EM flasks, added amount of HCl it would need for 34%+12mL excess. After that i boiled it and rinsed the contents on the watch glass back into the EM flask. However, after that i didn't have time to titrate them, so i put foil on the flask and taped it around to sort of seal it, and i know the contents remaining in the EM flask is 2NaCl and Excess HCl, both of which do not react with CO2 (which i boiled out anyway). Can i proceed this way or do i have to create 3 new samples.
