Product Overview & Quality
- Product Name: Sodium hydroxide solution
- Concentration: 0.1 N (0.1 mol/L)
- Physical Properties: Clear, colorless, and odorless liquid.
- Key Use: A secondary standard solution specifically prepared for precision titrations (Acidimetry) and fine pH adjustments in laboratory analysis.
Safety & Hazards
- Classification: Classified as Corrosive and an irritant to skin and eyes.
- Health Risks: Direct contact causes skin and eye irritation. Although less concentrated than 1.0N, it can still cause chemical burns upon prolonged exposure.
- First Aid Measures: Immediately flush affected eyes or skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If swallowed, rinse mouth thoroughly and seek medical advice.
Handling & Storage
- Storage: Store in tightly sealed plastic containers (HDPE) in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged storage in glass containers and do not use glass stoppers. Keep away from strong acids.
