(4-2-2) An Example of How to Create Data Table

To create a data table, first prepare sample solutions of different concentrations.

Then, use an accurate refractometer to measure their refractive indices at different temperatures.

This chapter explains the procedure of creating a data table for caustic soda (NaOH) solutions.

[Items to prepare]

・

ATAGO RX-5000

Cat.No. 3261 - A precision refractometer (with an internal constant temperature feature,

if possible)

・

A circulating constant temperature bath (unnecessary for a refractometer with an internal constant

temperature feature)

・

Sample solutions of different concentrations (example: NaOH solutions)

①

Prepare 6 NaOH solutions diluted with purified water to the following concentrations:

0.00%, 10.00%, 20.00%, 30.00%, 40.00%, 50.00%

Use purified water as the 0.00% sample.

Table 11-2 is the data of conversion between temperature and refractive index of water.

②

Next, measure the other 5 NaOH solutions with the refractometer.

Change the temperature to 5.0˚C, 10.0˚C, 20.0˚C, 30.0˚C, and 40.0˚C and measure.

Record the concentration, temperature, and Refractive Index.

For a data table, use a measurement range that is wider than the range of the actual sample the

PRM-TANK100

(FER) will be measuring.

Accordingly, the user scale in this case has the temperature range of 5 to 40˚C and the

concentration range of 0.00 to 50.00%.

③

Enter the concentration, Refractive Index, and temperature, following the data table format.

The Table 11-3 below is the compilation of the measurement results of the NaOH solutions expressed in

the format of theTable 11-2.

How to read the Table 11-3:

The 20.00% solution measures nD 1.38310 at 20 ˚C.

The 30.00% solution measures nD 1.40570 at 10 ˚C.
