The accuracy of the apparatusused is verified to ensure that it is appropriate for the concentration of VOLUMETRIC solutions is indicated in termsof molarity.

4 Molarity expresses, as the number of moles, theamount of substance dissolved in 1 L of solution. A solutionwhich containsxmoles of substance per litre is said to solutions do not differ from the prescribed strengthby more than 10 per cent. The molarity of the volumetricsolutions is determined by an appropriate number of repeatability does not exceed per cent (relative standarddeviation). VOLUMETRIC solutions are standardised by the methods describedbelow. When a VOLUMETRIC solution is to be used in an assayin which the end-point is determined by an electrochemicalprocess (for example, amperometry or potentiometry) the medium in which a VOLUMETRIC solution is standardisedshould be the same as that in which it is to be more dilute than those described are obtainedby dilution withcarbon dioxide-free water Rof theleast-concentrated solution that describes a which the dilutions were M Acetic g ofglacial acetic acid Rto mL withwater To mL of acetic acid add mL ofphenolphthalein solution Rand titrate M M Ammonium and cerium for 2 min a solution containing 56 mL of sulfuric acid Rand g ofammonium and cerium nitrate R,addfivesuccessive quantities, each of 100 mL, ofwater R,shakingaftereach addition.
