Explanation / Answer

Reaction:

KHP + NaOH ------> KNaP + H2O

So, one mole of NaOH required to neutralize one mole of KHP.

MOles of KHP = moles of NaOH

                        = Volume of NaOH x molarity of NaOH

                        = 15 mL x 0.4 M

                        = 6 mmol

                       = 0.006 mol

Mass of KHP = moles of KHP x molar mass of KHP

                     = 0.006 mol x (204.22 g/mol)

                     = 1.23 g

% KHP = ( mass of KHP/mass of unknown sample) x 100

Mass of unknown sample = ( mass of KHP/% KHP) x 100

                                          = (1.23 g/83%)x100

                                         = 1.48 g
