5.3.5
Calculations:
5.3.5.1 After taking average volume of both blank
titration and sample titration. Calculate the volume used by the examined
substance by using formula:
Volume
used by substance = Blank titration - Sample titration.
5.3.5.2 For percentage purity use formula:
%age
purity = volume used by substance x factor x 100
Weight of sample
5.3.5.3 Put values and calculate %age purity.
