Suppose a sodium hydroxide solution was standardized against pure solid primary standard grade khp. if 0.4798 g of khp required 45.22 ml of the sodium hydroxide to reach a phenolphthalein endpoint, what is the molarity of the naoh solution?

The NaOH solution has a molarity of 0.052 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of KHP = 0.4798 grams

Volume of NaOH= 45.22 mL = 0.04522 L

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Molar mass of KHP = 204.22 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles of KHP

Moles KHP = mass KHP / Molar mass KHP

Moles KHP = 0.4798 grams / 204.22 g/mol

Moles KHP = 0.00235 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles of NaOH

KHP here acts as a mono-acid so, the number of moles of NaOH = number of moles KHP = 0.00235 moles

Step 4: Calculate molarity of NaOH

Molarity NaOH = moles NaOH / volume NaOH

Molarity NaOH = 0.00235 moles / 0.04522 L

Molarity NaOH = 0.052 M

The NaOH solution has a molarity of 0.052 M

the old alchemists made significant contributions to science even though there starting premises were off a bit. their conclusions after failure would steer them into better directions for investigation. science is no more than close observation and the initial mistakes result in rethinking and retrying experiments.

it means there are 3 atoms of oxygen
