Best Answer

If you have a standard solution of an acid, like hydrochloric or sulfuric, you can perform a titration in the presence of phenolphtalein or methyl orange and calculate the solution's normality or, you can weigh a sample of a strong solid acid ( orthoiperiodic acid or even oxalic acid), titrate the acid with the hydroxide solution, again in the presence of phenolphtalein or methyl orange and calculate the concentration of NaOH. If you want to have a solution with an exact concentration, let's say 1 molar, and the actual concentration is 1,33 molar, you simply calculate how much water you need to ad in a specific quantity of solution, to dilute it to exactly 1 molar.

Why did you use KHP to standardize the NaOH solution?

The reasons KHP is used as a primary standard are as follows: (1) It is not hydroscopic, (2) it has a high molecular weight, so a reasonable amount to titrate can be easily weighed, and (3) it is stable at temperatures over 100°C so that any water may be driven off by heating.

0.2 N NaOH solution preparation?

1. Weigh 80 g NaOH. 2. Put this NaOH in a 1 L volumetric flask. 3. Add slowly 200 mL distilled water and stir. 4. Put the flask in a thermostat at 20 0C and maintain for 1 hour. 5. Add distilled water up to the mark. Stir vigorously. 6. Standardize the solution by titration with oxalic acid, potassium hydrogen phtalate, etc. 7. Transfer the solution in a bottle and apply a label (date, name of the operator, name of the solution, normality).

Potassium acid phthalate is a common primary standard used to standardize bases. Obviously, it would depend upon how much NaCl was present, but the end result will be to reduce the amount of available H+ for the mass of KHP-NaCl mixture. That would cause you to understate the concentration of the base.


What is the common primary standard used in the laboratory to standardize of NaOH and HCl?

Sodium Carbonate (Na2CO3) is most commonly used to standardise acids as it is non-hygroscopic (doesn't absorb water from the atmosphere).Oxalic Acid (HOOCCOOH or H2C2O4) used to standardise bases
