H2SO4 98.08
24.52 g in 1000 mL
Transfer 13.9 mL of sulfuric acid to a 1000-ml volumetric flask containing about 500 mL of dehydrated alcohol. Cool and dilute with dehydrated alcohol to volume.
Standardization: Accurately weigh about 2.5 g of tromethamine, dried according to the label instructions or, if this information is not available, dried at 105° for 3 h. Dissolve in 50 mL of water and add 2 drops of bromocresol green TS. Titrate with the sulfuric acid solution to a pale yellow endpoint. Each 60.57 mg of tromethamine is equivalent to 1 mL of 0.5 N sulfuric acid.
N = (mg tromethamine)/ (121.14 x mL H2SO4)
[NOTE-If this volumetric solution is used in a qualitative application such as pH adjustment, dissolution medium, or diluent, its standardization is not required.]
