That's smarter than my friend who worked for his PhD along with me, in my lab. Most mornings, his guide(research supervisor..I see the terminology has changed since my time) would come up to our lab, hand him some small bottle and say"make a 0.01M solution of this and titrate your sample using XX indicator and then report the titre value to me".
He got his PhD much before I did...probably his guide got tired of his daily trip upstairs to our lab.
