Why must titration be used to prepare sodium chloride from hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide?
Sodium chloride is insoluble, so it must be measured exactly
Both reactants are soluble, so excess cannot be filtered off
Hydrogen gas is produced and must be collected in the burette
The reaction is too slow to finish without using a burette
