Preparing Standard Solutions

Preparing Standard Solutions

  1. A standard solution is a solution in which its concentration is known.
  2. The steps taken in preparing a standard solution are:
    1. Determine the voloume and concentration that you want to prepare.
    2. Calculate the mass of solute needed to give the required volume and concentration.
    3. Weigh the solute
    4. Dissolve the solute completely dissolved in distilled water and then transfer it to a volumetric flask partially filled with distilled water.
    5. Add distilled water to the calibration mark of the volumetric flask.
    6. Invert the flask and shake it to make sure thorough mixing.
