Question

a 1.513 g sample of khp (c8h5o4k) is dissolved in 50.0 ml of di water. when the khp solution was titrated with naoh, 14.8 ml was required to reach the phenolphthalien end point. calculate the molarity of the naoh solution? khp is a monoprotic acid.

Answer 1

molar mass of KHP ( C8H5O4K)= 8*12+5+4*16+39=204

( atomic weights : C=12, H=1, K=39 and O= 16)

moles of KHP= mass/molar mass =  1.513/204 =0.0074

The reaction between KHP and NaOH is

KHC8H4O4(aq) + NaOH(aq) => KNaC8H4O4(aq) + H2O(l)

1 mole of KHP requires 1 mole of NaOH;

moles of KHP=0.0074

moles of NaOH= 0.0074

concentration of NaOH= moles/ Volume in L, 1000ml= 1L, 14.8ml= 14.8/1000L=0.0148L

concentration of NaOH=0.0074/0.0148=0.5M

The molarity of NaOH is 0.5M

Molar Mass:

In chemistry, the molar mass of a compound is defined as the mass of a sample of that compound divided by the amount of substance. This is the number of moles of that sample measured in moles.

Molarity:

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of a solution. Molarity, also called molarity, is the number of moles of solute (dissolved substance) per liter of solution.
