To prepare 1000 mL of a 0.1 mol/L solution of Sodium citrate we have to dissolve 25.806 g of Na3C6H5O7 (100 % purity) in deionized or distilled water. After the solid is completely dissolved, dilute the solution to a final volume with deionized (distilled) water.

Transfer the prepared solution to a clean, dry storage bottle and label it. Never store solutions in a volumetric flask.
All chemicals that you are unfamiliar with should be treated with extreme care and assumed to be highly flammable and toxic.
