SUMMARY
To properly dissolve sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) for titration, heating the water is unnecessary due to its high solubility in water. Simple stirring is sufficient, and it is recommended to stir for approximately 30 minutes to ensure complete dissolution. This method is effective for preparing sodium carbonate solutions in a school laboratory setting.
