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

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 =

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

Moles of NaOH = 0.003421 mole

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

Concentration of NaOH :

0.07789 M is the sodium hydroxide concentration.

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.
