The strength of an aqueous N a O H solution is most accurately determined by titrating: (Note: consider that an appropriate indicator is used)
Options
- AA q . N a O H in a pipette and aqueous oxalic acid in a burette
- BA q . N a O H in a burette and aqueous oxalic acid in a conical flask
- CA q . N a O H in a burette and concentrate H 2 S O 4 in a conical flask
- DA q . N a O H in a volumetric flask and concentrated H 2 S O 4 in a conical flask
Correct answer
B. A q . N a O H in a burette and aqueous oxalic acid in a conical flask
Step-by-step solution
Oxalic acid is a primary standard solution while H2SO4 is a secondary standard solution. Titration is a common laboratory method of quantitative chemical analysis to determine the concentration of an identified analyte. A reagent, termed the titrant or titrator, is prepared as a standard solution of known concentration and volume.
