B

(b) Aq. NaOH in a burette and concentrated `H_(2)SO_(4)` in a conical Flask.

C

(c) Aq. NaOH in a burette and aqueous oxalic acid in a conical Flask.

D

(d) Aq. NaOH in a pipette and aqueous oxalic acid in a burette.

The correct Answer is:
To determine the strength of an aqueous NaOH solution accurately, we need to perform a titration with a suitable acid. The best option among the given choices is to titrate NaOH with aqueous oxalic acid. Here’s a step-by-step solution to arrive at the correct answer: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Solutions**: - NaOH is a strong base, and we need to titrate it with an acid to determine its concentration. - A primary standard is a substance that can be used to determine the concentration of another substance through titration. It should have a known concentration and should not change over time. 2. **Identifying the Options**: - **Option A**: Aqueous NaOH in a volumetric flask and concentrated H2SO4 in a conical flask. - **Option B**: Aqueous NaOH in a burette and concentrated H2SO4 in a conical flask. - **Option C**: Aqueous NaOH in a burette and aqueous oxalic acid in a conical flask. - **Option D**: Aqueous NaOH in a pipette and aqueous oxalic acid in a burette. 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option A**: This option cannot be used for titration as a volumetric flask is not suitable for dispensing the titrant. - **Option B**: While NaOH is in the burette, H2SO4 is a secondary standard and its concentration can vary over time, making it unsuitable for accurate titration. - **Option C**: Aqueous NaOH in the burette and aqueous oxalic acid in the conical flask. Oxalic acid is a primary standard, making this option suitable for accurate titration. - **Option D**: Using a pipette for NaOH is not appropriate for titration; a burette is required for accurate measurement of the titrant. 4. **Conclusion**: - The best choice for accurately determining the strength of an aqueous NaOH solution is **Option C**: Aqueous NaOH in a burette and aqueous oxalic acid in a conical flask. ### Final Answer: **Option C: Aqueous NaOH in burette and aqueous oxalic acid in conical flask.**
