Re: Standardizing NaOH and HCL

I recently found data pertaining to the pH level of certain
concentrations of NaOH. Specifically, 0.01 N of NaOH is suppose to be
at a pH of 12. Seems like this would be a way to standardize the
solution. Does anyone in this group know why this isn't common
practice?

I can't remember off the top of my head but there is some other thing -
potassium phtalate maybe? - that's used to standardize AFAIK. Iverson
talks about it in his book.

BUT - why wouldn't this work - make a solution of say 10g TA in 1L
distilled water and titrate that. The error from 10g/L TA should give
the adjustment to the measured TA value in wine with this solution, no?
Or does it matter that one solution is water and the other wine?
