Preparation and Standardization
of 1 N NaOH Solution
Sodium hydroxide is a strong base that is
usually used to prepare standard alkaline
solutions useful for volumetric analysis of acidic
compounds.
Sodium hydroxide is hygroscopic and can
react with atmospheric carbon dioxide.

preparation of 100 mL of 1 N NaOH solution
Dissolve 4.5 g of sodium hydroxide in 100 mL
distilled water, allow to cool, and then add
saturated barium hydroxide solution drop wise
with stirring until a precipitate is formed. Leave
aside allowing for complete precipitation, filter,
and collect the filtrate to be standardized against
1 N HCl solution.

1 N HCl solution is used as a secondary
standard
phenolphthalein is used as the indicator

procedure
wash the burette with the D. W. and the titrant (NaOH)
fill the burette with NaOH to a level (adjust it)
wash a 20 mL – bulb pipette with D. W. then by a little of
HCl solution; fill it to the mark with the acid
transfer the acid into a clean conical fask; add D.W. (50
mL)
add 2 drops of phenolphthalein indicator
start titration by adding NaOH solution drop wise with
continuous stirring until the solution changes from
colourless to pink
record the volume of NaOH solution used and calculate
the normality
Note wash the burette with water thoroughly
