.)

Let W mg be the mass of the unknown sample. Let M

B molar be the

concentration of the sodium hydroxide titrant and V

ep mL be the endpoint

volume of the titration.

(a) State an expression for the number of mmols of sodium hydroxide used in

the titration in terms of M

B and Vep.

(b) Write the balanced stoichiometric equation for the neutralization of KHP

with sodium hydroxide. State the equivalence point mole ratio between

KHP and sodium hydroxide. Give an expression for the number of mmols

of KHP titrated by the sodium hydroxide in terms of M

B and Vep.

(c) Give an expression for the mass of KHP (in mg) in terms of M

B, Vep and

relevant constant values.

(d) Derive

(22) an expression for the weight percent of KHP in the sample in

terms of W, M

B, Vep and the associated constant values (which must be

expressed as numerals

(23) and not symbols). Hence, obtain an expression

for the analytical result (weight percent KHP) in terms of M

B and the ratio

(V

ep/W).

(e) Based

exclusively on the derived expression,

Explanation / Answer

KHP(aq) + NaOH(aq) --> H2O(l) + KNap(aq)

or

KHC8H4O4(aq) + NaOH(aq) ? KNaC8H4O4(aq) + H2O(l)
