0.1N vs 1.0N Conversion
« on: September 27, 2023, 02:07:54 PM »
Hello all,
I have a titration that calls for 0.1N HCl but only have 1.0N HCl on hand. Though the results won't be as accurate using 1.0N HCl, can I still perform the titration by multiplying the mL of 1.0N HCl by 10?
Thanks in advance

You can dilute it and then standardise your new solution.
Generally HCl solution is not considered a primary standard and good practice suggests it should be standardised before use.
Many school labs (and sometimes others) don’t bother with this procedure however. Depends how fastidious you want to be.
