During a titration experiment, you notice that no matter how much base you add to the sample of acid, the color of the solution does not change. In fact, you have added three times the amount of base you expected to add! What is the next thing you should do to troubleshoot this problem?  a. Try the titration with another base. Maybe this one doesn't react with your acid.  b.  Put everything into the waste container and start over.  c.  Redo your calculation to make sure you are expecting the correct amount of base.  d.   Add a few drops of indicator to your flask. Perhaps you forgot to add them.
