QUESTION 8

In a titration, 25.0 mL of 0.500 M KHP is titrated to the equivalence point with NaOH. The final solution volume is 48.5 mL. What is the value of M2 for the reaction?

0.256 M

0.532 M

0.970 M

0.500 M

Respuesta :

m1v1=m2v2
m2=(m1v1)/v2 
Where m is the molarities and v is the volumes
m2=(0.500*25.0)/48.5
m2=12.5/48.5
m2=0.256 M
so it will be A: 0.256 M

Answer : The value of [tex]M_2[/tex] (concentration of NaOH) for the reaction will be, 0.532 M

Explanation :

Using neutralization law,

[tex]n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2[/tex]

where,

[tex]n_1[/tex] = basicity of an acid (KHP) = 1

[tex]n_2[/tex] = acidity of a base (NaOH)  = 1

[tex]M_1[/tex] = concentration of [tex]KHP[/tex] = 0.500 M

[tex]M_2[/tex] = concentration of NaOH = ?

[tex]V_1[/tex] = volume of [tex]KHP[/tex] = 25 ml

[tex]V_2[/tex] = volume of NaOH = 48.5 - 25 = 23.5 ml

Now put all the given values in the above law, we get the concentration of the [tex]NaOH[/tex].

[tex]1\times 0.500M\times 25ml=1\times M_2\times 23.5ml[/tex]

[tex]M_2=0.532M[/tex]

Therefore, the value of [tex]M_2[/tex] (concentration of NaOH) for the reaction will be, 0.532 M
