The mass of potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) was obtained by weighing it directly using a balance. This is a standard procedure for preparing a primary standard solution.

The moles of KHP were then calculated using the measured mass of KHP and its molar mass. The molar mass of KHP (chemical formula KC8H5O4\text{KC}_8\text{H}_5\text{O}_4) is 204.24 g/mol204.24 \text{ g/mol}.

The formula used for calculating moles is:

Moles=Mass (g)Molar Mass (g/mol)\text{Moles} = \frac{\text{Mass (g)}}{\text{Molar Mass (g/mol)}}

For example, in Trial 1:

  • Mass of KHP: 0.21900 g0.21900 \text{ g}
  • Molar Mass of KHP: 204.24 g/mol204.24 \text{ g/mol}
Moles of KHP (Trial 1)=0.21900 g204.24 g/mol=0.00107 mol\text{Moles of KHP (Trial 1)} = \frac{0.21900 \text{ g}}{204.24 \text{ g/mol}} = \boxed{0.00107 \text{ mol}}
