The discussion revolves around the proper method for dissolving sodium carbonate for a titration experiment in a school setting. It includes considerations of solubility and the techniques for preparing the solution, focusing on whether heating is necessary or if stirring alone is sufficient.
Participants express differing views on the necessity of heating the water, with some asserting that it is not needed due to the solubility of sodium carbonate, while others focus on the importance of stirring time. The discussion does not reach a consensus on the best approach.
There may be limitations regarding the specific concentration of sodium carbonate being used, which could affect the dissolution process. Additionally, the discussion does not clarify the assumptions regarding the temperature of the water or the specific conditions of the titration.
Even if the procedure would allow you to heat (but it's not the case) you don't need it because Na2CO3 is very water soluble.louischaman said:for my titration at school i need to create a sodium carbonate solution
do i need to heat up the water or can i dissolve the sodium carbonate with simply stirring?
help would be much appreciated
