The volume and molarity of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were determined through a titration experiment using potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) as a primary standard.

  1. Determine the volume of NaOH used in cm³.

    The volume of NaOH used for each trial was calculated by subtracting the initial burette reading from the final burette reading.

    • Trial 1: Volume of NaOH=10.20 cm3−0.00 cm3=10.20 cm3\text{Volume of NaOH} = 10.20 \text{ cm}^3 - 0.00 \text{ cm}^3 = 10.20 \text{ cm}^3
    • Trial 2: Volume of NaOH=11.90 cm3−0.00 cm3=11.90 cm3\text{Volume of NaOH} = 11.90 \text{ cm}^3 - 0.00 \text{ cm}^3 = 11.90 \text{ cm}^3
    • Trial 3: Volume of NaOH=23.60 cm3−11.90 cm3=11.70 cm3\text{Volume of NaOH} = 23.60 \text{ cm}^3 - 11.90 \text{ cm}^3 = 11.70 \text{ cm}^3
  2. Convert the volume of NaOH from cm³ to Liters (L).

    To convert cm³ to Liters, divide by 1000 cm3/L1000 \text{ cm}^3/\text{L}.

    • Trial 1: Volume of NaOH=10.20 cm31000 cm3/L=0.0102 L\text{Volume of NaOH} = \frac{10.20 \text{ cm}^3}{1000 \text{ cm}^3/\text{L}} = 0.0102 \text{ L}
    • Trial 2: Volume of NaOH=11.90 cm31000 cm3/L=0.0119 L\text{Volume of NaOH} = \frac{11.90 \text{ cm}^3}{1000 \text{ cm}^3/\text{L}} = 0.0119 \text{ L}
    • Trial 3: Volume of NaOH=11.70 cm31000 cm3/L=0.0117 L\text{Volume of NaOH} = \frac{11.70 \text{ cm}^3}{1000 \text{ cm}^3/\text{L}} = 0.0117 \text{ L}
  3. Calculate the moles of KHP used in each trial.

    The moles of KHP were calculated using its mass and molar mass (204.24 g/mol204.24 \text{ g/mol}).

    Moles of KHP=Mass of KHPMolar mass of KHP\text{Moles of KHP} = \frac{\text{Mass of KHP}}{\text{Molar mass of KHP}}
    • Trial 1: Moles of KHP=0.21900 g204.24 g/mol=0.00107 mol\text{Moles of KHP} = \frac{0.21900 \text{ g}}{204.24 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.00107 \text{ mol}
    • Trial 2: Moles of KHP=0.28900 g204.24 g/mol=0.00141 mol\text{Moles of KHP} = \frac{0.28900 \text{ g}}{204.24 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.00141 \text{ mol}
    • Trial 3: Moles of KHP=0.22000 g204.24 g/mol=0.00108 mol\text{Moles of KHP} = \frac{0.22000 \text{ g}}{204.24 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.00108 \text{ mol}
  4. Determine the molarity of NaOH for each trial.

    Since KHP is a monoprotic acid and reacts with NaOH in a 1:11:1 mole ratio, the moles of NaOH at the equivalence point are equal to the moles of KHP.

    Molarity of NaOH=Moles of NaOHVolume of NaOH (L)\text{Molarity of NaOH} = \frac{\text{Moles of NaOH}}{\text{Volume of NaOH (L)}}
    • Trial 1: Molarity of NaOH=0.00107 mol0.0102 L=0.105 M\text{Molarity of NaOH} = \frac{0.00107 \text{ mol}}{0.0102 \text{ L}} = 0.105 \text{ M}
    • Trial 2: Molarity of NaOH=0.00141 mol0.0119 L=0.118 M\text{Molarity of NaOH} = \frac{0.00141 \text{ mol}}{0.0119 \text{ L}} = 0.118 \text{ M}
    • Trial 3: Molarity of NaOH=0.00108 mol0.0117 L=0.092 M\text{Molarity of NaOH} = \frac{0.00108 \text{ mol}}{0.0117 \text{ L}} = 0.092 \text{ M}
  5. Calculate the average molarity of NaOH.

    The average molarity was found by summing the molarities from each trial and dividing by the number of trials.

    Average Molarity of NaOH=0.105 M+0.118 M+0.092 M3=0.315 M3=0.105 M\text{Average Molarity of NaOH} = \frac{0.105 \text{ M} + 0.118 \text{ M} + 0.092 \text{ M}}{3} = \frac{0.315 \text{ M}}{3} = \boxed{0.105 \text{ M}}
