i'm doing a task to find the amount of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in a liquid soap. i have to use titration in it. how exactly would I do this? thanks

You can't. You can determine amount of bases in soap, but whether it is NaOH or some other bases, you will be not able to tell.

For more information about titration as such, go to www.titrations.info
