Preparation and Standardization of 0.0005 M Dioctyl Sodium Sulphosuccinate

Dioctyl Sodium Sulphosuccinate Solution Preparation

• Dissolve 0.225 g of dicotyl sodium sulphosuccinate in warm water.
• Cool and dilute to 1000 ml with water.
• Standardize the solution in the following manner.

Dioctyl Sodium Sulphosuccinate Solution Standardization

• To 25.0 ml add 25.0 ml of a solution containing 20 % w/v of anhydrous sodium sulfate and 2 % w/v sodium carbonate, 50 ml of chloroform and 1.5 ml of bromophenol blue solution and mix.
• Titrate with 0.01 M tetrabutylammonium iodide until about 1 ml remains to be added for the end-point.
• Stopper the flask, shake vigorously for 2 minutes and continue the titration, in increments of 0.5 ml, shaking vigorously and allowing the flask to stand for about 10 seconds after each addition. 
• Continue the titration until a blue color just appears in the chloroform layer.
• 1 ml of 0.01 M tetrabutylammonium iodide is equivalent to 0.004446 g of C20H37NaO7S.
