TASK 4A
Explain why it is important when producing pharmaceutical products ready for consumers to prepare standard solutions and to carry out titrations accurately in a quality control laboratory.
D1
Standard solution
First of all a standard solution is a solution with the accurately known concentration. The unit of concentration is mol dm–3. [4]If we didn’t have standard solutions, we would be calculating information which is wrong of the solutions used for pH, absorbance, etc. if we didn’t have standard solution we wouldn’t know the accurate concentration of a product. Standard solutions have to go through many tests to make sure that they are accurate enough before they are able to be used in the products.
When making a standard solution anywhere even if it is in a lab or an industry it is important that you have the right type of PPE equipment (personal protective equipment). You will need a lab coat and goggles disposal gloves can also be used but they are not really as necessary as the other two. The first step in making a standard solution in a lab is by putting the weighing boat on a weighting scale and pressing the tare button which will set it to zero. This is done so that when you’re measuring the substance in this case sodium carbonate the beakers mass will not be calculated along with the substance so that you can get the accurate value. After you finish that it is important that when you are putting your substance into the weighing boat that you take it off the weighing boat because sodium carbonate is powder and it is very easy for powder to fall and if it falls while you were putting it into your beaker while it was on the weighting in scale it could change your results and you would have to start again. After you have carefully weighed up the amount of the required substance transfer it into a beaker and them use distilled water to rinse the weighing boat as some particle could have been left inside and add that into the beaker as well.
