Q

How can you create a standard solution that is not a primary standard?

A

Titrate a base with a primary standard (or other solution of known concentration) to find the exact concentration of the base.

Q

What is titration?

A

Titration is the process of adding a solution of known concentration and known volume (often a base) to a solution with a known volume and unknown concentration (often an acid) to find the unknown concentration
