- Substance
The Sodium Hydroxide 2M (2N) Standardized Solution is a clear, colorless liquid with a density of approximately 1.09 g/mL. It has a strong alkaline odor typical of sodium hydroxide solutions. The solution has a boiling point of around 100 °C (212 °F) due to its aqueous nature, while the freezing point is approximately 0 °C (32 °F). Sodium hydroxide is highly soluble in water, and the solution exhibits a pH value of around 13, indicating its strong basicity. The solution is hygroscopic, absorbing moisture from the air, which can affect its concentration over time.
