Question

1.c)
1 to 1.2 gram samples of KHP (204.22g/mol, potassium hydrogen phthalate, not potassium hydrogen phosphorous) will be used to standardize the NaOH solution.Approximately what volume of the NAOH solutions will be requires to titrate the KHP?
Is this right?
Prelaboratory Problems - Experiment 21 - Acids and Bases: Reactions and Standardization The solutions to the starred problems are in Appendix 4 Option 1-a of the instructions suggests the dissolving of about 10 g of NaOH in 0.95 L of water to prepare the solution to be standardized. Calculate the approximate concentration of this solution. 1. a. o.aSL Nadu Option 1-b of the instructions suggests that about 41 mL of 6 M NaOH be diluted to about 0.95 L of water to prepare the solution to be standardized. Calculate the approximate concentration of this solution. b.

Explanation / Answer

Ans. Moles of KHP taken = Mass / Molar mass

= 1.1 g / (204.22 g / mol)

                                                = 0.0053863 mol

# Balanced reaction: KHC8H4O4(aq) + NaOH(aq) -------> KNaC8H4O4(aq) + H2O(l)

According to the stoichiometry of balanced reaction, 1 mol NaOH neutralizes 1 mol KHP (KHC8H4O4).

That is,

            Moles of NaOH consumed = Moles of KHP neutralized

            Hence, Moles of NaOH consumed = 0.0053863 mol

Now,

Required volume of NaOH solution = Moles of NaOH / Molarity

                                                = 0.0053863 mol / 0.248 M

                                                = 0.0053863 mol / (0.248 mol/ L)

                                                = 0.02172 L

                                                = 21.72 mL

Therefore, required volume of NaOH solution = 21.72 mL
