Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. The formula for calculating the concentration of the analyte ($HCl$) in a titration is $C_{HCl}=\frac{C_{NaOH}V_{NaOH}}{V_{HCl}}$. If too much $NaOH$ (titrant) is used, $V_{NaOH}$ is over - estimated, so the calculated $C_{HCl}$ will be too high.
  2. Phenolphthalein is colorless in acidic solutions ($HCl$) and turns pink in basic solutions ($NaOH$). At the endpoint of the $NaOH - HCl$ titration, the solution just turns basic, so the color change is from colorless to pink.
  3. A burette that is calibrated correctly but not rinsed with the titrant before use can have residual water or other substances that can dilute the titrant, leading to inaccurate results for the concentration of the analyte.
  4. Overshooting the endpoint means adding more titrant than necessary. Using the titration formula, a higher volume of titrant will lead to a calculated higher concentration of the unknown solution ($HCl$).
  5. The equivalence point in a titration is the point where the titrant and analyte react in stoichiometric amounts.
  6. If the barometer used to measure pressure is incorrectly calibrated, it can give pressure readings that are consistently higher or lower than the actual values.
