To prepare a standard solution of sodium carbonate

Apparatus

Weigh boat, electronic balance, glass rod, funnel, beaker, volumetric flask, wash bottle

Step 1

Using an electronic balance, place a weigh boat and zero the balance and weigh out 2.65g of sodium carbonate

Step 2

Wash off all traces of sodium carbonate into a beaker with 100cm cubed of water using a wash bottle.

Step 3

Using a glass rod, stir until the sodium chloride is dissolved

Step 4

Pour the solution into the volumetric flask using a funnel and fill up to the graduation mark

Step 5

Put on the stopper and invert the solution 20 times to ensure a homogenous solution
