7C concentrate

7C learned the difference between strength and concentration today.
They had to find which acid was more concentrated 

 So they took 10ml of the acid and added universal indicator
 They then used an alkali to neutralise it
The alkali was sodium hydroxide
 They added alkali until the solution in the conical flask turned green
and then saw which acid used the most alkali.
That one was the most concentrated.
Hydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxide => sodium chloride + water
