Pipette 10 mL of the stock solution and transfer it into the beaker containing the distilled water, Stir the solution with a glass rod and transfer it into a 250 mL volumetric flask. Rinse the beaker and pour the content into the flask. Add distilled water to the volumetric flask up to the calibrated mark. Stopper and shake the flask to obtain a homogeneous solution. The — diluted H,SO, solution is ready for titration. Rinse a 25 mL pipette with the diluted H,SO, solution. Pipette 25 mL of the diluted H;SO, solution into a 250 mL conical flask and add 2 drops of phenolphthalein. Fill a burette with 0.2000 M standard NaOH solution and record the initial burette reading. Titrate the diluted H;SO, solution with the standard NaOH solution until the pale pink colour persists. Record the final reading of the burrete. Repeat steps 7 - 10 three times.
