Product Overview
Sodium hydroxide, N/10 (CVS) is a precisely standardized volumetric solution designed for high-accuracy titrations and analytical applications. This lab-grade reagent is prepared under strict quality controls to ensure consistent normality (0.1N), eliminating the need for in-house standardization. The solution is supplied in sealed glass ampoules to prevent contamination and maintain stability over extended storage periods. Its clear, colorless appearance ensures no impurities interfere with visual endpoint detection during titrations. The CVS certification guarantees traceability and reliability, making it ideal for critical volumetric procedures where precision is non-negotiable. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for concentration accuracy, ensuring reproducible results across experiments. The aqueous formulation provides immediate solubility and uniform reactivity, while the ampoule packaging minimizes exposure to atmospheric CO₂, preserving the solution’s integrity. Whether used in acid-base titrations or as a primary standard, this N/10 sodium hydroxide solution delivers exceptional performance for demanding laboratory workflows.
FAQs
1. What is the exact concentration of this N/10 sodium hydroxide solution?
The solution is standardized to 0.1N (1/10 normal), equivalent to 4.000 g/L NaOH, with certification ensuring ±0.1% accuracy.
2. Can this solution be used directly without further standardization?
Yes, the CVS certification confirms the solution is pre-standardized and ready for immediate use in titrations without additional calibration.
3. How should the ampoules be opened to avoid contamination?
Use a dedicated ampoule opener or file a light scratch around the neck, then snap open while holding the body upright to prevent spillage.
4. What is the shelf life of unopened ampoules?
When stored at 15–25°C in original packaging, the solution remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture.
5. Are there any compatibility issues with specific titration indicators?
The solution is compatible with common indicators like phenolphthalein and bromothymol blue, but always verify pH range suitability for your specific application.
