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

SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on determining the amount of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in liquid soap using titration. It concludes that while titration can measure the total amount of bases present in the soap, it cannot specifically identify whether the base is NaOH or another compound. This limitation is crucial for accurate chemical analysis in soap formulation.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of acid-base titration techniques
