Potassium hydrogen phthalate is a solid, monoprotic acid frequently used in the laboratory to standardize strong base solutions. It has the unwieldy formula of KHC8H4O4. This is often written in shorthand notation as KHP. Required:
How many grams of KHP are needed to exactly neutralize 25.6 mL of a 0.527 M potassium hydroxide solution?

2.75 g

Explanation:

The number of moles of KOH is obtained from the equation;

n=CV

C= concentration

V= volume of solution

n= 0.527 × 25.6/1000

n= 0.0135

Reaction equation;

KOH(aq) + KHC8H4O4(aq) --->(KC8H4O4)K(aq) + H2O(l)

1 mole of KHP reacts with 1 mole of KOH

Hence; 0.0135 moles of KHP reacts with 0.0135 moles of KOH

From;

Number of moles = reacting mass/molar mass

Reacting mass = 0.0135 × 204

= 2.75 g of KHP

< > according to newton's third law of motion, forces always act in equal but opposite pairs. another way of saying this is for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction.< >

lol for the pointsss
