B: nothing the color of the solution when heated
Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
In order to calculate this, we need to use the following expression to get the concentration of the base:
MaVa = MbVb (1)
We already know the volume of NaOH used which is 13.4473 mL. We do not have the concentration of KHP, but we can use the moles. We have the mass of KHP which is 0.5053 g and the molecular formula. Let's calculate the molecular mass of KHP:
Atomic weights of the elements to be used:
K = 39.0983 g/mol; H = 1.0078 g/mol; C = 12.0107 g/mol; O = 15.999 g/mol
MM KHP = (1.0078*5) + (39.0983) + (8*12.0107) + (4*15.999) = 204.2189 g/mol
Now, let's calculate the mole of KHP:
moles = 0.5053 / 204.2189 = 0.00247 moles
With the moles, we also know that:
n = M*V (2)
Replacing in (1):
n = MbVb
Now, solving for Mb:
Mb = n/Vb (3)
Finally, replacing the data:
Mb = 0.00247 / (13.4473/1000)
Mb = 0.184 M
This would be the concentration of NaOH
The reasonable ground-state electron configuration is: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 4d8
