SODIUM HYDROXIDE SOLUTION (N/10)

Sodium Hydroxide Solution N/10 is a standardized alkaline solution for routine laboratory and analytical procedures. Sodium hydroxide is a strong inorganic base which readily dissociates in aqueous solution to provide hydroxide ions for neutralisation and pH adjustment.
The solution is commonly used in acid-base titrations, where its known concentration allows the quantitative determination of acidic substances. It is also used for the preparation and adjustment of buffer solutions to the desired pH for some laboratory procedures.
Sodium Hydroxide is a very strong alkaline substance and thus it can be used in different analytical applications which require controlled alkalinity. Accurate concentration is important because titration results and laboratory measurements need to be consistent and reliable.
The product is a clear, colourless liquid and is miscible with water. It meets the above suitability requirement. During handling, appropriate laboratory precautions should be followed because sodium hydroxide can cause chemical burns and may react strongly with acids. Due to the storage stability and handling of the solution under controlled conditions, the quality and the concentration of the solution can be maintained for use in analysis.
