In chemistry when the concentration of a solution is accurately known it is called a standard solution. Standard solutions are needed for carrying out chemical experiments in the laboratory. Furthermore, they are needed to get accurate results. Standard solutions are useful in several industries as well.

1. For this specific solution, we need 14.625 grams of sodium chloride. It
needs to be measured accurately from a chemical balance.
Collect the solute (NaCl) into the watch glass
Remove the lid of the volumetric flask connect the funnel
Use the wash bottle to transfer the solute from the watch glass to the
volumetric flask via the funnel
Close the lid and mix the solution properly with around 2/3 of the
volumetric flask filled
Open the lid and fill the volumetric flask with water with the wash
bottle
When reaching the marked level, watch the mark at eye level and add
water drop by drop from the wash bottle
When the mark is reached close the lid and mix the solution again gently
and with minimum contact with the bulb of the volumetric flask
The final step is to label the standard solution. The label should contain
the name of the solution, volume and concentration, and the date of
preparation.
