Answer:
A. 0.143 M
B. 0.0523 M
Explanation:
A.
Let's consider the neutralization reaction between potassium hydroxide and potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP).
KOH + KHC₈H₄O₄ → H₂O + K₂C₈H₄O₄
The molar mass of KHP is 204.22 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 1.08 g are:
1.08 g × (1 mol/204.22 g) = 5.28 × 10⁻³ mol
The molar ratio of KOH to KHC₈H₄O₄ is 1:1. The reacting moles of KOH are 5.28 × 10⁻³ moles.
5.28 × 10⁻³ moles of KOH occupy a volume of 36.8 mL. The molarity of the KOH solution is:
M = 5.28 × 10⁻³ mol / 0.0368 L = 0.143 M
B.
Let's consider the neutralization of potassium hydroxide and perchloric acid.
KOH + HClO₄ → KClO₄ + H₂O
When the molar ratio of acid (A) to base (B) is 1:1, we can use the following expression.

I have provided the steps and solution within the attachment. The pH of the solution would be 12.30, this indicates that the solution is basic, as a higher value of pH indicates presence of more hydroxide ions and less of hydrogen ions in the solution.
Answer:
Only Reaction 1
Explanation:
In reaction 1, there is a change in state from solid to liquid. Hence, there is an increase in number of ways particles and their energies could be arranged. As a result, entropy increases.
In reaction 2, there is a decrease in amount of gas particles (4 mol to 2 mol). Hence there is a decrease in the number of ways particles and their energies could be arranged. As a result entropy decreases
