A chemical process to determine the concentration of an unknown
acid or base by using a standard solution whose concentration is
known.
Requirements of a standard solution
high grade of purity
preferably a solid
not be hygroscopic or worn.
Aim
To standardize a solution of an unknown acid or base against a standard soltution
whose concentration is known.
Apparatus

Conical Flask
White tile or paper
Funnel
Glass beaker
Retort stand
Wash bottle
Mass balance
Precaution
Wear a lab coat, gloves and safety glasses
