A student titrates a KHSO₄ /H₂C₄H₂O₄ mixture where (unbeknownst to the student) the concentration of the KHSO₄ is smaller than that of H₂C₄H₂O₄. When analyzing the titration data the student assumes that half the volume used to reach the first equivalence point is used to enutralize the KHSO₄ and the other half is used to neutralize the first proton of H₂C₄H₂O₄. This will result in a computer concentration of KHSO₄ that is:
A) Correct
B) Incorrectly Low
C) Incorrectly High
D) Not Enough Information

So, Im looking for an explanation here. I feel like the concentration would be less than half, but Im also not sure because without seeing the actual titration of the graph, I feel like its impossible to know. When we did this in lab the concentration of the monoprotic acid was less than the diprotic, and there were less moles etc. so Im thinking here that the student will come up with a value that is way too high. Are my assumptions correct, or is there something Im missing?

Data Analysis

How do you expect your coarse titration volume to compare to your fine titration volumes?

I expect the values to be a little off from each other since in the first titration we let out a lot at a time and didnt slowly do the titration. should only be off by a few mL.

Part 3: Perform Fine Titrations

V = (20.03 mL + 20.06 mL + 20.02 mL) / 3 = 20.04 mL

average number of moles of NaOH dispensed

Conclusions

Phenolphthalein is pink over the range of pH 8 â 12. Why was it a useful indicator of when the equivalence point was reached?

This was helpful because once I got to the ph of 7 I knew that I would be getting closer to the end point which would change the color to pink.

I am unable to solve these questions due to a time constraint. I received help on part 1 of the unknown acid. Need help with the rest! I really appreciate it!

Lab: ACID-BASE TITRATION

Objective: To use titration to determine in Part 1, the concentration (molarity) of an unknown acid solution and in Part 2, the purity of a sample of KHP acid. Background: Titration is a volumetric technique used to determine the concentrations of solutions, molar masses of solids, and purity of samples. A titration inolves the addition of a titrant (a solution of known concentration) to an analyte ( a solution of unknown concentration), or vice versa, using a piece of glassware called a burette. The titration is carried out until it reaches an equivalence point (the exact point at which the reaction between the two solutions is complete). A chemical indicator is often used to aid in the identification of the equivalence point. An indicator changes color upon reaching the equivalence point of endpoint. Since we will be carrying out an acid-base titration, the indicator must change color upon reaching the endpoint at a specific pH. An example of such an indicator is phenolphthalein, which changes from colorless to pink near the equivalence point when pH approaches 7. It should be noted that the indicator selected is dependent upon a given titration, so that the observed color change is close to the ideal equivalence point. Once the titration is completed, we can use the volumes measured for each solution, as well as the concentration of the titrant, to determine the concentration, molar mass, or purity of the unknown analyte. Procedure Note: During lab, record all measurements and data in a clearly labeled table. Part 1: 1. Obtain ~80mL of ~0.1M of base (sodium hydroxide, NaOH) into a labeled beaker. Make sure to report the actual concentration from the bottle. 2. Obtain ~25mL of unknown acid into a second labeled beaker. Record whether your acid is monoprotic, diprotic, or triprotic. 3. Using a funnel, or carefully pouring, fill the burette with sodium hydroxide NaOH. Make sure a labeled waste beaker is under the buretter to catch any drippings. Rinse your burette by filling it with ~5-10mL of NaOH. Turn the knob to let ~2 mL out the tip into the waste beaker. Make sure your waste beaker is under the burette to catch any drips. Next, turn the Burette upside down and pour the remaining NaOH into your waste beaker while twisting the burette to coat the inside with NaOH. 4. Fill your burette with sodium hydroxide. Turn the knob to fill the tip of the burette with NaOH. Record the initial volume to the correct number of significant figures. 5. Using a volumentric pipette, transfer 10.00 mL of your unknown acid into the Erlenmeyer flask. 6. Add 3 drops of pH indicator and magnetic stirrer to the Erlenmeyer. 7. Under the burette, place the Erlenmeyer on a hot plate and turn on the stir knob. Heat should be off. 8. Titrate the unknown acid until the solution turns pink and remains pink. 9. Record the final volume on the burette to the correct number of significant figures. 10. Repeat (4) to (7). Pre-plan the whole lab and who will do which task. MY RESULTS: PART 1 The actual concentration of NAOH is 0.5939, 80 mL Initial Final 24.9 mL 44.5mL 26.1 mL 45.57mL PART 2 Impure KHP (SAMPLE B ) Only Paper: 0.280 g Impure KHP Mass: 0.526 g Initial volume: 22.30 mL + water +26.10 mL Final Volume: 26.80 mL QUESTIONS: 1. Calculate the concentration (molarity) of your unknown acid. 2. Calculate how many grams in your impure KHP sample was indeed KHP. 3. Calculate the percent (by mass) KHP in the sample. Part 2: 1. What would happen to the final result( state what the final result is ) if the tip of the burette was not filled when reading the initial volume? 2. What would happen to the final answer if you used Ca(OH)2 instead of NaOH and DID NOT know it? 3. What would happen to the final result if the Erlenmeyer flask was contaminated with other types of acid? 4. Recalculate the concentration of your unknown acid if it was given as a diprotic acid. 5. Draw a molecular level picture (showing Na+, H+, OH-, H2O, etc...) of what is in your beaker before, at half point, at equivalent point, and at end point of the titration. Part 3: 1. What would have happened to the final result if the impurity in the sample was also acidic? 2. What would have happend to your final result if you used ~25mL of water to dissolve the solid acid instead of 20mL? Summary data: Create a clearly labeled table of all your final data results for each run, and athe average of multiple runs. Part 1: Unknown #, Vol base, M base, Vol acid, M acid. Part 2: Sample #, % KHP (purity)
