It is time for the titration. You measure 15.0 mL of the H2C2O4 solution with a 100-mL graduated cylinder and add it to a 125-mL Erlenmeyer flask. Then you add two drops of the indicator, phenolphthalein, to the oxalic acid solution in the flask. You dispense the NaOH solution from the buret into the flask (while swirling the flask) until you reach the endpoint. At the endpoint, the solution in the flask turns light pink. You repeat the titration two additional times for a total of three trials. The initial and final volumes of NaOH used in each trial are given to you below. Calculate the moles of H2C2O4 used in the titration, the moles of NaOH used in the titration, the volume of NaOH used, the molarity of NaOH in each trial, the average molarity of the NaOH solution, and the percent error. To calculate the average molarity of the NaOH solution, average the molarities of the three trials. Show ALL calculations on a separate sheet of paper.

Hello, Ooyeon,
I have difficulty understanding the numbers given. What is the difference of "True" and "average" NaOH molarity? Was "average molarity that of NaOH or H2C2O4?
I'm not sure which number is the established value to calculate % error.
