adjust the pH with the dropwise addition of 1 M NaOH while stirring.


Explanation:
The expression we always used to use in the lab was "with the dropwise addition of XX", which specifically means you add only 1 drop at a time, stir, wait and check the pH before adding another drop - it is important that it is dropwise to avoid going too far.

Reference

Reference information:
Adjust the pH to 5.5 by slowly adding approximately 1.3 mL or 1.44 grams of sodium hydroxide (10%) while stirring and monitoring the pH.

While stirring, add a few drops of NaOH. Measure the pH. Continue to add NaOH until pH is at 8.

Add this NaOH solution drop by drop, with stirring, to the test tube containing
distilled water until the change in indicator color is reached, about pH 11. Record the approximate number of drops of 1 M NaOH needed to cause this color change.
