IV.  CONCLUSION (10 POINTS)

 

 

 

 

 

V.     QUESTIONS (30 POINTS)

 

1.      Use Figure 3 in your laboratory manual to determine which combination of acids and bases provide the most distinguishable equivalence point. Which combination is the most difficult to determine an equivalence point? (10 points)

 

 

 

2.      There are many different primary standards that could be used in a standardization titration. What are the criteria of a primary standard?(10 points)

 

 

 

3.      Potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP; KHC₈H₄O₄) is a good primary standard. If it took 20.0 mL of NaOH to react with 15.5 mL of 0.600 M KHP solution, what is the molarity of the NaOH solution? (10 points)

 

KHC₈H₄O₄  +  NaOH  →  KNaC₈H₄O₄  +  H₂O
