Place 750 ml of water in a heat resistant beaker (volume 2 000 ml). Measure 135 ml of sulfuric acid, mass fraction 98 % , and dilute in the water by small additions and under gentle stirring. Cover the beaker with a watch glass and keep it for several hours in a safe place to cool. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: During dilution the solution becomes hot; wear safety goggles, protective gloves and protective clothing. 5.2.1.2.2 Hydrochloric acid solution, mass fraction 10 %

Weigh 1,00 g of soluble starch and make a slurry with 5 ml of water. Add 95 ml of water to the slurry and boil for several minutes to dissolve it. Cool the solution. This solution needs refrigeration to avoid decomposition of the starch which results in a vague end point. Keep the solution cool and use it within one week.
