Process Description Method Information. Machine TG:N/A Reference Number: Dept. Name & Rev. No. 00 OKP for the preparation of ASTM E200 Calibration Number: Section SOP Source: sulphuric acid (0.02 to 1N) & Quality Control/IQC Its standardization Chemical
Operational Key Point
Sulphuric acid Solution preparation: 1.To prepare a 0.1 N Solution, measure 3 ml of concentrated sulphuric acid(Sp gr 1.84) into 1L Volumetric flask & dilute to the mark with water, mix well , and store in a tightly closed glass container .For the other normalities of H2SO4 solution use the requirements given in the table-7. 2. Standardize the solution in the following Manner. Standardization Procedure: 1) Transfer 2 to 4 g of anhydrous sodium carbonate to a platinum dish or crusible, and dry at 250 degree for 4 hour . Cool in desicator. 2) To standardize a 0.1 N solution or any normality take weight accurately 0.22 ±0.01 g [From table-5 as per Normality] of the dried sodium carbonate, and transfer to 500 ml conical flask. 3) Add 50ml of water, swirl to dissolve the carbonate & add 2 drops of a 0.1% solution of methyl red in alcohol. 4)Add the acid slowly from a burette, with constant stirring , until the solution becomes faintly pink/red.Heat the solution to boiling,cool & continue the titration. 5) Heat again to boiling & titrate further as necessary until the faint pink/red color is no longer affected by continued boiling. Calculation :Calculate the molarity of H2SO4 Solution as follows: A =B/0.053V Where, A=Normality of H2SO4 Solution B=grams of Sodium Carbonate used V= ML of H2SO4 Solution consumed. Stability: Restandardize Monthly.
1. Control the room temperature At 25°C .
2. Use safety Mask when chemical is Used. 3. Put on Hand Gloves when clean & chemical used in laboratory. 4. Read and understand all the instructions mentioned in the process manual before the test.
