3. Prepare 0.1L of 0.1M sodium hydoxide (NaOH).

NaOH usually comes in a solid so this is a simple solution to make in terms of calculations and preparations.

a) Calculations:
The molecular weight (MW) of NaOH is: 40 A 0.1M solution would 0.1 MW per liter (0.1 x 40 = 4.0g/liter). Since you are making 100ml (100ml=0.1L) you will need one-tenth of 0.1M or 0.4 g of NaOH.
b) Preparation
1. Weigh our 0.4g of NaOH on a balance.
2. Transfer the NaOH to a 100ml bottle and approximately 50ml of distilled water (dH2O).
3. Dissolve the NaOH by swirling the bottle . Once the NaOH is completely dissolved, the solution should be clear. Add more dH2O until the volume is exactly 100ml. You now have 100ml of a 0.1M solution of NaOH.

4. Prepare a 0.1L of 0.1M acetic acid.
Acetic acid is a solution that is found as a ...
