[Biofuel] More titration questions

this one: http://www.kimble-kontes.com/html/pg-620F.html and it came already loaded with 0.1 N NaOH. I didn't really feel like dumping it out and making some fresh 0.1% w/v NaOH so I pulled out a pencil and some scrap paper. A quick calculation reveals that 0.1 Normal NaOH is a 0.4% w/v

days old or had exposure to the atmosphere, it will have absorbed CO2. this lowers the amount of OH, and will cause the titration to be off. (you will overestimate the amount of NaOH needed for the methoxide preparation. other than that it your assumptions are correct. John Hayes wrote:

snip ps. maybe I'm being a pedant but Keith, do you think you could change 0.1% lye to 0.1% (w/v) lye on the JtF titration page? Not pedantic, you're quite right, I was actually aware of it but hadn't done anything about it, especially as it's now common usage (not my doing). But it's
