MR / Schenectady, New York. Schenectady High School (urban, public high school). Grade 10 chemistry lab. One of a series of photographs taken during a chemistry lab on the titration of an acid and a base. Students work with: an acid (solution of hydrochloric acid), base (solution of sodium hydroxide), a buret (or burette, laboratory equipment used to dispense precise amounts of solutions), and an indicator (phenolphthalein solution) which is added to determine the equivalent point, or neutralization. In this image, students (Girl 15; Girl; 16; Guyanese-American) are checking the amount of solution added to the buret. ID: AJ-g10p. MR: Vaz1, Gaj1. ©Ellen B. Senisi
