KHP K + + HP −. and then, acting as a weak acid, hydrogen phthalate reacts reversibly with water to give hydronium (H 3 O +) and phthalate ions. HP − + H 2 O ⇌ P 2− + H 3 O + KHP can be used as a buffering agent in combination with hydrochloric acid (HCl) or sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The buffering region is dependent upon the pKa, and is ...
An example of a secondary standard is sodium hydroxide, a hydroscopic compound that is highly reactive with its surroundings. The concentration of a standard solution made with sodium hydroxide may fluctuate overtime due to the instability of the compound, requiring for calibration using a primary standard before use.

Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye and caustic soda, [1] [2] is an inorganic compound with the formula NaOH. It is a white solid ionic compound consisting of sodium cations Na + and hydroxide anions OH −. Sodium hydroxide is a highly corrosive base and alkali that decomposes lipids and proteins at ambient temperatures and may cause severe ...
Potassium hydrogen phthalate (usually called KHP) for standardisation of aqueous base and perchloric acid in acetic acid solutions; Sodium carbonate for standardisation of aqueous acids: hydrochloric, sulfuric acid and nitric acid solutions (but not acetic acid) Sodium chloride for standardisation of silver nitrate solutions
The data below tabulates standard electrode potentials (E°), in volts relative to the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE), at: Temperature 298.15 K (25.00 °C; 77.00 °F); Effective concentration (activity) 1 mol/L for each aqueous or amalgamated (mercury-alloyed) species;
A liquid fat sample combined with neutralized 95% ethanol is titrated with standardized sodium hydroxide of 0.1 eq/L normality to a phenolphthalein endpoint. The volume and normality of the sodium hydroxide are used, along with the weight of the sample, to calculate the free fatty acid value. [3]
Molar concentration or molarity is most commonly expressed in units of moles of solute per litre of solution. [1] For use in broader applications, it is defined as amount of substance of solute per unit volume of solution, or per unit volume available to the species, represented by lowercase : [2]
Titration of a standard solution using methyl orange indicator. Titrate is in Erlenmeyer flask, titrant is in burette. acid + base → salt + water. For example: HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H 2 O. Acidimetry is the specialized analytical use of acid-base titration to determine the concentration of a basic (alkaline) substance using standard acid.
