Caveat: Sodium hydroxide is very hygroscopic and also reacts with CO2 in the air. Unless the
container of NaOH you are using has never been exposed to the atmosphere it is not likely to be
100 % pure. Consequently, your solution will be of a concentration that is less than 0.05 N. In
reality, you would make up this solution such that the concentration is higher than 0.05 N. Then,
you would titrate it with a primary standard acid (e.g., potassium hydrogen phthalate) and the
NaOH solution to get 0.05 N
How do I prepare a 0.05N NaOH
first prepare 0.1N NaOH solution. Then 100ml of 0.05N NaOH is prepared from 0.1N solution
using the formula
V1N1 = V2N2
v1ml of 0.1N is taken in 100ml standard flask and made upto mark to get the required solution
