Stock solution
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In chemistry, a stock solution is a large volume of a common reagent, such as hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide, at a standardized concentration. This term is commonly used in analytical chemistry for procedures such as titrations, where it is important that exact concentrations of solutions are used. Stock solutions do not necessarily come in concentrations of simple numbers, for example a solution could be 0.10082M HCl.
