Preparation of 1000 ml of standard N/10 NaOH solution

PREPARATION
  • Sodium hydroxide is a monoacidic base and is available as pellets, which are hygroscopic.

             Equivalent weight of NaOH = Molecular weight = 40 g.

  • So, to prepare 1000 ml of 1 N NaOH solution, the amount of NaOH required = 40 g.
  • Therefore, to prepare 1000 ml of 0.1 N NaOH solution, the amount of NaOH required = 4.0 g.

Procedure

  • Weigh exactly 4.0 g of NaOH and dissolve it in 1000 ml of distilled water in a beaker and stir well.
