ou let your partner do a trial since you're nice. He/she adds a few mL of NaOH, but you realize that nobody recorded the initial buret level! RATS! What do you do?      a) Just get light pink since that's the point of titrations anyways.     b) Finish the titration and record the final buret reading. Ask your instructor what the initial buret reading was since he knows all of them by heart...right?   c) Just record the current level as the "initial" reading. Precision isn't THAT important.   d) Restart the trial since you have no idea how much NaOH was added so far.
