How does the transition point in the titration change if the sample amount is halved?

5 ml of 0.75 M NaOH was added to a beaker, followed by methyl orange and then HCl dropwise until the transition point was reached, which was 3.75 ml of HCl consumed. How would the transition point change if the sample volume were halved?

Now consider exactly what influence the volume has in GLEICHBLEIBENDER concentration.

You will need less HCl with the same concentration for neutralization, but both are strong acids and bases. What would change at best at the envelope?

That’s right. The amount of HCl that you need to reach the envelope would halve. only 1.875 ml of HCl are required.

> How would change the transition point

It is not changed (same color change at the same pH value), it is only somewhere else (with less addition) … (at least if the indicator quantity is halved). The “how” is too non-specific.

The envelope depends ONLY on the chemical properties and concentration of the indicator and NOT on the sample quantity in the solution. The transition point of methylorange is 3.1 to 4.4. That remains. So the envelope would not change if you halve the sample amount.
