    Preparation and Standardization of 1M Hydrochloric Acid

    Preparation and standardisation of 1 M Hydrochloric Acid solution using anhydrous Sodium Carbonate and Methyl Red solution as indicator used in pharmaceutical testing.

    Hydrochloric Acid Solution Preparation

    • Dilute 85 ml of hydrochloric acid with water to produce 1000 ml.
    • Standardize the solution in the following manner.

    Hydrochloric Acid Solution Standardization

    • Weigh accurately about 1.5 g of anhydrous sodium carbonate, previously heated at about 270°C for 1 hour. 
    • Dissolve it in 100 ml of water and add 0.1 ml of methyl red solution.
    • Add the acid slowly from a burette, with constant stirring, until the solution becomes faintly pink.
    • Heat the solution to boiling, cool and continue the titration.
    • Heat again to boiling and titrate further as necessary until the faint pink color is no longer affected by continued boiling.
    • 1 ml of 1M hydrochloric acid is equivalent to 0.05299 g of Na2CO3.
    • Calculate the molarity of solution by the following formula:
                   Na2CO3 in mg
    M = -----------------------------------------
           Hydrochloric Acid in ml x 52.99

    1. why we should heat the solution ?

    2. Take hydrochloric acid sample in a 5 ml weighing bottle. Carefully transfer about 1 gm (weighing accurately) into a 100 ml conical flask containing 10 ml distilled water. Titrate with 1(N) sodium hydroxide solution taken in burette using methyl red as an indicator. 1 ml of 1(N) sodium hydroxide = 0.03646 gm. HCl.

      Assay of HCL (%) = Titre value (ml) x normality NaOH x 3.646/Weight of HCl sample taken (gm)

      Can I use above method for Hcl

    3. Can any one explain what is the meaning of this line, 1 ml of 1 M HCL Is equivalent to 0.05299 g of Na2co3
