Reference Books on Electrolysis and Chemical Titration process I'm in a General Chemistry course in college. We have laboratory, and then we are supposed to make a report on what we did, etc.

I'm not entirely sure what the last laboratory was about, but it was called Salt and Water Electrolysis

To sum up the procedures -two general procedures-, here's what we did:

1st Procedure: 


We prepared 50 mL of a $\ce{NaCl(aq)}$ solution at 0.1 M (molarity) in a 100 mL beaker
We made a DC (direct current) circuit at 5V and 700 mA, with graphite electrodes
We turned the circuit on for roughly 20 minutes
We employed a magnetic stirrer to stir the solution
We added 3 drops of Phenolphthalein in the solution, and took notes of the phenomena. (I guess it kinda turned pink)


And that was that for the 1st procedure.

2nd procedure:


We measured the solution's pH with a pH meter
We measured roughly 15 mL of $\ce{HCl}$ (Hydrochloric Acid) at 0.5 M with a test tube
We poured the solution of $\ce{HCl}$ in a 25 mL burette.
We prepared the titration equipment
We were supposed to add the $\ce{HCl}$ (drop by drop) to the $\ce{NaCl}$ solution and at the same time be measuring the pH until it got to 7


And that was that for the second procedure.

Of course we kind of messed up, as we overshot the end point. The excess $\ce{HCl}$ brought it's pH to 3 point something.

The $\ce{NaCl}$ solution lost its pink color, and then turned yellowish.

So.. I guess I am asking for references to the equipment involved -I kind of have references for the pH and the properties involved, still, if you know of some references, let me know!-, I've looked for electrolysis processes in books but don't find any. Or they're too technical. Also, haven't found titration procedures in books.

Can you help me out, just so I can finish my report?
Any good general chemistry textbook has a chapter on electrolysis. If you wish to add more scholarly work check the Journal of Chemical Education. https://pubs.acs.org/action/doSearch?text1=Electrolysis&amp;quickLinkYear=&amp;quickLinkVolume=&amp;field1=Title&amp;type=within&amp;publication=346464552

In the first part you electrolyze a solution of salt. Check the half cell reactions from the text: What happens at the cathode and what happens at the anode?

Water is reduced at the cathode and -OH ions are produced. This makes your salt solution basic. In the second part, your lab requires you to estimate how much base was produced.*

Essentially you do a titration of NaOH with standardized HCl. The end point is estimated by a pH meter. Look up any general chemistry textbook again for titration of a base with HCl using a pH meter. The technique is called pH titration. You did a very rough version of a pH titration.




Depending on the conc. of NaCl, either chlorine or oxygen is produced at the anode.
