Why is potassium hydrogen phthalate a good primary standard

Asked by maham237 @ 03/01/2021 in Chemistry viewed by 283 People

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 26.12 mL to reach a phenolphthalein end point. What is the concentration of the KOH solution?

Answer: The molarity of KOH solution is 0.092 M.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of KHP = 0.4877 g

Molar mass of KHP = 204.22 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of KHP}=\frac{0.4877g}{204.22g/mol}=0.0024mol$

The chemical reaction for the formation of chromium oxide follows the equation:

$KHC_8H_4O_4(aq.)+KOH\rightarrow K_2C_8H_4O_4(aq.)+H_2O(l)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of KHP reacts with 1 mole of KOH.

So, 0.0024 moles of KHP will react with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0024=0.0024mol$ of KOH.

To calculate the molarity of KOH, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

We are given:

Moles of KOH = 0.0024 moles

Volume of solution = 26.12 mL = 0.02612L (Conversion factor: 1L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of NaOH }=\frac{0.0024mol}{0.02612L}=0.092M$

Hence, the molarity of KOH solution is 0.092 M.
