β¦ Synopsis
Multiple steps in the Boehm titration are carried out in a variety of manners by different research groups, thereby making results difficult to compare. The methods standardized in this paper include method of agitation, use of dilute titrant, carbon removal from reaction bases and the effect of air on NaOH standardization; uncertainty estimations are also shown. By examining the multiple agitation methods, it was found shaking was the optimal method for use in the Boehm titration as other methods (stirring and sonicating) affect the carbon surface. It was also found that filtering the carbon and reaction base mixture did not affect the titration, nor did the use of dilute titrant. Solutions must be freshly standardized prior to use since storage (even over a one week time period) results in a change in concentration.
