A solution of the primary standard potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP), KHC8H4O4 , was prepared by dissolving 0.4877 g of KHP in about 50 mL of water. Titration of the KHP solution with a KOH solution of unknown concentration required 38.91 mL to reach a phenolphthalein end point. What is the concentration of the KOH solution

The concentration of KOH is  0.06137 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molar mass of KHP = 204.22 g/mol

Mass of KHP = 0.4877 grams

Volume of water = 50 mL

Volume of KOH solution = 38.91 mL

Step 2: The balanced equation

C8H5KO4 + KOH ⇒ C8H4K2O4+ H2O

Step 3: Calculate number of moles of KHP

Moles = Mass / molar mass

Moles KHP = 0.4877 grams / 204.22 g/mol

Moles KHP = 0.002388 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of KOH

For 1 mol KHP we need 1 mol KOH to produce 1 mol C8H4K2O4 and 1 mol H2O

For 0.002388 moles KHP we need 0.002388 moles KOH

Step 5: Calculate the concentration of KOH

Concentration = moles / volume

Concentration of KOH = 0.002388 moles / 0.03891 L

Concentration of KOH = 0.06137 M

The concentration of KOH is  0.06137 M
