NaOH is in the conical flask in that question. it depends on the phrasing of the question. if it's "X is titrated with...." X goes in the flask

so if its "NaOH is titrated against Ethanoic Acid" would it still be NaOH?
yeah i think so! that's what my teacher told me.
But i don't think it matters which one goes where, it says it in the cgp.
apparently, usually acids go in the burette.

thanks m8 for your help😁 apologies for the dumb question 😂😁
lots of ppl have asked the same thing! it's actually a really good question 
u need to actually ask all of ur "dumb" questions to ur teachers and other people. it's going to take a lot of courage because u think you'll look stupid but those unasked questions will actually cost you so many marks and it's not worth it!
plus, youre confused for a REASON. it's never because you're stupid. also, you'll find that the rest of the class agrees with u so u dont even look stupid
however, some questions will actually make u look like a stupid FOOL lol i won't lie to u, but u NEED to ask ur teacher anyway! that's what having courage is (unless it's something sooo trivial and that u can find out for urself.)

Right i know this is a dumb question, butai just wanted to know
If you titrate and acid against a base, does that mean that the acid is in the flask.
Like some qs will word it "NaOH was titrated with Ethanoic Acid"
is titrated another word for added to?

1) If X is titrated against Y, it usually means that Y is the titrant (placed in burette) and X is the analyte. However, it is not always the case. Just read the instructions carefully.
2) The example that you stated is one of a weak acid vs strong base titration, which means that there would be a buffer region. If the weak acid is the analyte, then maximum buffering capacity volume = 0.5 x equivalence volume. If the weak acid is the titrant, then maximum buffering capacity volume = 2 x equivalence volume.
Although the acid is typically placed in the burette, in this example the weak acid is preferably placed in the conical flask. Otherwise, the volume required to achieve maximum buffering capacity may exceed the volume of the burette. This would contribute to a greater titrant reading error.
Hope it helps. Cheers.
