About this document
Understanding Analytical Standards by Jordan Perry is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Standards are used to determine unknown concentrations or calibrate analytical instruments. The accuracy of a measurement is determined by how close the result is to the true value, which usually requires calibration using standards of known concentrations to create a calibration curve. Primary standards are extremely pure, stable substances used directly for titrations, such as sodium carbonate for acid titration. Secondary standards are prepared in the lab for a specific analysis and standardized against
