17
Q

What is a standard solution?

A

A solution of known concentration

18
Q

What is a primary standard?

A

A standard solution which has been prepared by accurately weighing out a pure compound and using it to make a solution of known volume

19
Q

What is a secondary standard?

A

A solution standardised against a primary standard

20
Q

What are the five requirements for a primary standard?

A

It should be 100% pure

Stable to drying temperatures. Stable at room temperature.

Readily available and fairly inexpensive

High formula (molecular) weights so that a larger weight is taken for a given number of moles

Should react completely to give a sharp end point

26
Q

What is the equivalence point?

A

The moment at which the reaction has gone to completion

27
Q
