1. Explain the difference between the equivalence point
and the endpoint of a titration.







2. How do we determine when
we have reached the endpoint of our titration?







3. What chemical/physical properties are required for a primary standard?
What physical/chemical properties make NaOH unsuitable as a primary standard?







4. What precautions whould be needed if a standardized oxalic acid solution
were to be stored for an extended length of time?







5. What are the chemical hazards associated with sodium hydroxide and oxalic acid?
