A NaOH solution is standardized using the monoprotic primary standard potassium hydrogen phthalate, KHP (204.22 g/mol.) If 0.6986 g of KHP requires 43.92 mL of NaOH, what is the NaOH concentration

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.07789 M is the sodium hydroxide concentration.

Explanation:

Mass of potassium hydrogen phthalate = 0.6986 g

Molar mass of potassium hydrogen phthalate = 204.22 g/mol

Moles of  potassium hydrogen phthalate = [tex]\frac{0.6986 g}{204.22 g/mol}=0.003421 mol[/tex]

[tex]NaOH+KHP\rightarrow NaKP+H_2O[/tex]

According to reaction , 1 mole og KHp reactswith 1 mole of NaOH , then 0.003421 moles of KHp will react with :

[tex]\frac{1}{1}\times 0.003421 mol=0.003421 mol[/tex]

Moles of NaOH = 0.003421 mole

Volume of NaOH solution = 43.92 ml = 0.04392 L ( 1 mL = 0.001L)

[tex]Concentration=\frac{Moles}{Volume(L)}[/tex]

Concentration of NaOH :

[tex]\frac{0.003421 mol}{0.04392 L}=0.07789 M[/tex]

0.07789 M is the sodium hydroxide concentration.
