The table below gives the results of three titrations carried out with 0.200 M HCl to determine the molarity of a given NaOH solution using phenolphthalein as indicator. NaOH was taken in the burette and HCl was taken in a conical flask for the titrations

The actual molarity of the prepared NaOH solution was 0.220 mol dm^{-3}. Which among the following could be the reason for the wrong value obtained in titration III?

The actual molarity of the prepared NaOH solution was 0.220 mol dm^{-3}. Which among the following could be the reason for the wrong value obtained in titration III?
Options
- ANumber of drops of phenolphthalein added to the titration flask was more in this titration
- BThe concentration of HCl was wrongly used as 0.250 M for the calculation of M NaOH
- CA few drops of NaOH solution were spilled outside the titration flask during titration
- DA few drops of the neutralized solution from titration II were left behind in the flask
Correct answer
C. A few drops of NaOH solution were spilled outside the titration flask during titration
