A standard solution is one with a known concentration, usually given in mol/dm3. To make a standard solution accurately, the correct mass of the substance must be carefully measured and fully transferred to a volumetric flask. The procedure involves calculating the moles and mass needed, weighing out the substance, dissolving and transferring it to the flask, and filling to the line with water while mixing to produce a homogeneous solution. The completed solution is labeled with its concentration and details for identification and traceability.
