Default Testing for TA

Dick,
There are two variables. The size of the wine sample and the "normality" of
the sodium hydroxide.
If a 5 ml wine sample and if the normality of the sodium hydroxide is 0.1,
then the TA equals the amount of sodium hydroxide in milliliters used in the
titration multiplied by 0.15.
