PREPARATION OF SODIUM HYDROXIDE AND SULPHURIC

 ACID SOLUTIONS

INTRODUCTION

A standard solution is one in which the amount of solute dissolved in the solvent is
known. Molarity is another concentration measurement that refers to the number of
moles of solute in each volume of solvent. Thus, mol/L is a unit of molarity. It is
possible to dilute a high concentration solution by adding extra solvent to the
original solution. The number of moles of solute before and after dilution remains
constant during the diluting process.
OBJECTIVES

1. To prepare a standard solution of 1.0 M sodium hydroxide and diluting the solution to
0.2 M.
2. To dilute 1.0 M of sulphuric acid stock solution to the final concentration of 0.1 M.

APPARATUS
Volumetric flasks (50 mL and 100 mL)
Volumetric pipette (5 mL and 10 mL)
Beaker (100 mL)
Filter Funnel
Glass Rod
Dropper
Pipette filler or suction bulb
Analytical balance

CHEMICALS
Sodium hydroxide, NaOH
1.0 M sulphuric acid, H2SO4
Distilled water

PROCEDURE

A. Preparation of 1.0 M NaOH Solution

1. 4.0 g NaOH weighed accurately.

2. NaOH get transferred into a 100 mL beaker and add 50 mL of distilled water into
the beaker.
3. The solution was stirred with glass rod until all the NaOH dissolved.
4. With the aid of a filter funnel, the solution was transferred into 100mL of volumetric
flask. Distilled water was added until the calibration mark.
5. The volumetric flask was shaken by turning it upside-down a few times for the solution
to be homogeneous.
B. Dilution of NaOH Solution

1. Pipette 10 mL of 1.0 M NaOH solution that has been prepared in PROCEDURE A using
a volumetric pipette.
2. The measured solution was transferred into a 50 mL volumetric flask and add distilled
water until the calibration mark of the flask. Make sure you use a dropper to add the
last few drops of distilled water.
3. The volumetric was shaken flask by turning it upside-down a few times for the solution
to be homogeneous.

C. Dilution of H2SO4 Solution

1. 5 mL of 1.0 M H2SO4 solution was measured by using 5 mL volumetric pipette (the

solution has been prepared by your instructor).
2. The measured solution was transferred into a 50 mL volumetric flask and add distilled
water until the calibration mark of the flask. Make sure you use a dropper to add the last
few drops of distilled water.
3. The volumetric flask was Shaken by turning it upside-down a few times for the solution
to be homogeneous.

DISCUSSION
The eventual result of this experiment was as expected. This is related to the accuracy with
which sodium hydroxide NaoH is measured. The molarity will not be exactly 1.0 M if the
weigh is not as accurate as it should be. When conducting the dilution, it is important to use
the dropper to add the last few drops of distilled water to make sure that the system is at the
same level as the volumetric flask's calibration mark. If the dropper is not used when adding
the distilled water, the distilled water may be added excessively, resulting in a molarity that is
different from what the experiment is looking for. If this happens, the only way to continue
the experiment is to start over from the start.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion ,preparation and dilution of a solution is important skills in basic experimental
process. This process should be every chemistry student should be always used and practised
for get accuracy when preparing and diluting a solution
