For the standardization of their sodium hydroxide solution apair of students weighed out 0.4607 g of KHP (MM 204.22 g/mol).They found that it took 20.26 mL of their NaOH solution to reachthe endpoint. What is the concentration of their NaOH solution inM?

Number of moles of KHP , n = Mass/ molar mass

                                         = 0.4607 g / 204.22(g/mol)

                                        = 2.26x10-3 mol

The balanced molecular equation between KHP & NaOH is :

NaOH + KHP ------> NaKP+ H2O

From the balanced equation

1 mole of KHP reacts with 1 mole of NaOH

2.26x10-3 mol of KHP reacts with 2.26x10-3 mol of NaOH

Given Volume of NaOH is 20.26 mL = 20.26x10-3 L

So Molarity of NaOH , M = Number of moles / volume of NaOH in L

                                    = 2.26x10-3 mol / 20.26x10-3 L

                                    = 0.111 M

Therefore the molarity of NaOH solution is 0.111 M
