1. calculate the molarity of a solution of sodium hydroxide if 23.64mL of this solution is needed to neutralize .5632g of potassium hydrogen phthalate. 2. It is found that 24.68mL of .1165M NaOH is needed to titrate .2931 g of an unknown acid to the phenolphthalein end point. Calculate the equivalent mass of the acid. help appreciated  | ||

cant find out the [H+] because KHP is a weak acid | ||

Ok, for the first question, ignore my first response. At the endpoint, the number of moles of NaOH used in the titration is equal to the number of moles of KHP (Molar mass 204.2 g/mole) weighed out. Knowing the volume of base and number of moles of acid, you can calculate the concentration of the NaOH solution using the following expression Macid * Vacid = Mbase * Vbase Macid = molarity (moles/L) of acid Vacid = volume (L) of acid Mbase = molarity (moles/L) of base Vbase = volume (L) of base Which is basically the moles of KHP over liters of NaOH used. While KHP is a weak acid, it does not change the fact that when the end point is reached, theoretically the moles of OH- should equal the moles of H+ released from the acid. | ||

Well I'm gonna assume the acid is monoprotic. Anyway this is just stoichiometry: Moles Base = Moles Acid at the titration end point. Moles Base = .02468 L * .1165 M NaOH = .2931 g Acid / (X g per mol Acid) ---- x is what you're solving for, the molar mass of the acid. Basically, for the base, we multiply volume by concentration, and for acid, we divide mass by molar mass. Both sides of the equation give us a number of moles, which we know is equal because we're talking about the titration end point (assuming a monoprotic acid). PM me if you still need help! | ||
