Product Overview
Sodium hydroxide, N/1 (CVS) is a standardized 0.1N aqueous solution designed for high-precision volumetric applications in laboratories. This CVS-grade solution ensures accuracy in titration, neutralization, and other analytical procedures where exact molar concentration is critical. The solution is prepared using high-purity sodium hydroxide, free from carbonates and other impurities that could interfere with results. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to maintain consistency, making it ideal for quantitative chemical analysis. The solution is supplied in sealed ampoules to prevent contamination and degradation from atmospheric CO2, ensuring long-term stability. Its standardized concentration eliminates the need for frequent recalibration, saving time and reducing errors in experimental workflows. Whether used in acid-base titrations or as a reagent in synthesis, this solution delivers reliable performance for demanding laboratory requirements.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of N/1 CVS Sodium Hydroxide solution?
The solution remains stable for 12 months when stored unopened in its original ampoule. Once opened, use within 3 months for best accuracy.
2. Can this solution be used for non-aqueous titrations?
No, this aqueous sodium hydroxide solution is specifically formulated for aqueous-phase titrations and may not perform reliably in non-aqueous systems.
3. How should I handle spillage of this solution?
Neutralize spills immediately with dilute acetic acid or citric acid solution, then wipe with absorbent material. Wear protective gloves and eyewear during handling.
4. Is this solution compatible with automatic titrators?
Yes, the standardized concentration and low impurity profile make it suitable for use with most automatic titration systems.
5. What alternatives exist if I need a different normality?
For higher concentrations, consider N/10 or 1N CVS sodium hydroxide solutions, while for lower concentrations, dilution with carbonate-free water is recommended.
