Answer:
<u />
- <u>a) 1.44g</u>
<u />
- <u>b) 77.3%</u>
<u />
Explanation:
<u>1. Chemical balanced equation (given)</u>
<u>2. Mole ratio</u>
This is, 1 mol of NaOH will reacts with 1 mol of KHP.
<u />
<u>3. Find the number of moles in 72.14 mL of the base</u>
<u>4. Find the number of grams of KHP that reacted</u>
The number of moles of KHP that reacted is equal to the number of moles of NaOH, 0.007055 mol
Convert moles to grams:
- mass = number moles × molar mass = 0.007055mol × 204.23g/mol
- mass = 1.4408 g.
You have to round to 3 significant figures: 1.44 g (because the molarity is given with 3 significant figures).
<u>5. Find the percentage of KHP in the sample</u>
The percentage is how much of the substance is in 100 parts of the sample.
The formula is:
- % = (mass of substance / mass of sample) × 100
- % = (1.4408g/ 1.864g) × 100 = 77.3%
