Question

Determine the approximate amount of potassium hydrogen phthalate, KHP, that you will need to neutralize 6.00 ml of 0.100 M NaOH. The formula weight of KHP is 204.233 g/mol. If you record this in your laboratory notebook before lab, it will save time in lab.

Answer 1

Answer:

potassium hydrogen phthalate KHP MOLAR MASS = 204.233 glmol

to get 1000 ml

Molar concentration = Mass concentration/Molar Mass

mass concentration = molar concentration x molar mass

mass concentration=0.1 M,

molar mass= 204.233 g/mol

so to get 1L

mass conc = 204.233 x 0.1

= 20.4233g  for 1L or 1000 ml

to get 6.00 ml

if 20.4233g is for 1000ml

then to 6.00 ml

= 20.4233 x 6 / 1000

= 0.123g for 6.00 ml

according to the equation below

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

number of moles of NaOH is equal to that of KHP

so the same amount will be needed too, which is

= 0.123g
