Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- What is the difference between molar and normal solutions?
Molar solutions express concentration in moles per liter (M), while normal solutions express the equivalent weight in grams per liter (N).
- Why is standardization important for these solutions?
Standardization ensures that the prepared solutions have accurate and known concentrations, crucial for precise chemical analyses.
- What is a primary standard in standardization?
A primary standard is a pure and stable compound that can be used to prepare a known molar solution for titration.
- What are some common mistakes to avoid when preparing molar and normal solutions?
Avoid errors in weighing the solute, ensure complete dissolution, and accurately measure the final volume to prevent concentration discrepancies.
- What are some safety precautions when working with these solutions in a laboratory?
Wear appropriate safety gear, work in a well-ventilated area, and follow laboratory safety protocols to prevent exposure to chemicals.
