A student finds that 12.34 ml of a naoh solution is needed to neutralize 0.5678 g of potassium hydrogen phthalate (khc8h4o4). what is the concentration of the naoh solution? express your answer in mol/l.

Respuesta :

1. we want molarity,but first we need to find out moles. moles KHP = 0.5678g/204.2g = 2.780X10^-3 mol KHP 2. use stoich to detemine moles of naoh 1 mol KHP= 1 mol NAOH so there are 2.780x10^-3mol NAOH M= (2.780X10^-3mol NAOH/12.34mL) x (1000L/1L) M= 0.2254 mol/l

The molarity of the NaOH solution is [tex]\boxed{{\text{0}}{\text{.225 mol/L}}}[/tex].

Further explanation:

Stoichiometry:

It is used to determine the amount of species present in the reaction by the relationship between reactants and products. It is used to determine the moles of a chemical species when moles of other chemical species present in the reaction is given.

Consider the general reaction,

[tex]{\text{A}} + 2{\text{B}} \to 3{\text{C}}[/tex]

Here,

A and B are reactants.

C is the product.

One mole of A reacts with two moles of B to produce three moles of C. The stoichiometric ratio between A and B is 1:2, the stoichiometric ratio between A and C is 1:3 and the stoichiometric ratio between B and C is 2:3.

The reaction between sodium hydroxide and potassium hydrogen phthalate occurs as follows:

[tex]{\text{NaOH}}+{\text{KH}}{{\text{C}}_8}{{\text{H}}_4}{{\text{O}}_4}\to{\text{KNa}}{{\text{C}}_{\text{8}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}}{{\text{O}}_4}+{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}[/tex]

The formula to calculate the moles of [tex]{\text{KH}}{{\text{C}}_8}{{\text{H}}_4}{{\text{O}}_4}[/tex] is as follows:

[tex]{\text{Moles of KH}}{{\text{C}}_8}{{\text{H}}_4}{{\text{O}}_4} = \frac{{{\text{Given mass of KH}}{{\text{C}}_8}{{\text{H}}_4}{{\text{O}}_4}}}{{{\text{Molar mass of KH}}{{\text{C}}_8}{{\text{H}}_4}{{\text{O}}_4}}}[/tex]               …… (1)

The given mass of [tex]{\text{KH}}{{\text{C}}_8}{{\text{H}}_4}{{\text{O}}_4}[/tex]is 0.5678 g.

The molar mass of [tex]{\text{KH}}{{\text{C}}_8}{{\text{H}}_4}{{\text{O}}_4}[/tex]is 204.22 g/mol.

Substitute these values in equation (1).

[tex]\begin{aligned}{\text{Moles of KH}}{{\text{C}}_8}{{\text{H}}_4}{{\text{O}}_4}&=\left( {{\text{0}}{\text{.5678 g}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{{\text{1 mol}}}}{{{\text{204}}{\text{.22 g}}}}} \right) \\&=0.00278\;{\text{mol}} \\ \end{aligned}[/tex]

According to the stoichiometry of the reaction, one mole of NaOH combines with one mole of [tex]{\text{KH}}{{\text{C}}_8}{{\text{H}}_4}{{\text{O}}_4}[/tex] to form one mole of [tex]{\text{KNa}}{{\text{C}}_{\text{8}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}}{{\text{O}}_4}[/tex] and one mole of [tex]{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}[/tex]. So the number of moles of NaOH is also 0.00278 mol.

Molarity is a concentration term that is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved in one litre of the solution. It is denoted by M and its unit is mol/L.

The formula to calculate the molarity of the NaOH solution is as follows:

[tex]{\text{Molarity of NaOH solution}} = \frac{{{\text{Moles}}\;{\text{of}}\;{\text{NaOH}}}}{{{\text{Volume }}\left( {\text{L}} \right){\text{ of}}\;{\text{NaOH}}\;{\text{solution}}}}[/tex]           …… (2)

Substitute 0.00278 for the moles of NaOH and 12.34 mL for the volume of NaOH solution in equation (2).

[tex]\begin{aligned}  {\text{Molarity of NaOH}}&= \left( {{\text{0}}{\text{.00278 mol}}} \right)\left( {\frac{1}{{{\text{12}}{\text{.34 mL}}}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{{\text{1 mL}}}}{{{\text{1}}{{\text{0}}^{ - 3}}\;{\text{L}}}}} \right) \\&={\text{0}}{\text{.2252 mol/L}}\\&\approx {\text{0}}{\text{.225 mol/L}} \\ \end{aligned}[/tex]

So the molarity of NaOH solution is 0.225 mol/L.
