Abstract
Procedure
PRE-LAB EXERCISE
1. Calculate the mass of sodium hydroxide needed to prepare 100 mL of a 0.10 M
solution.
Na= 22.99
O= 16.00
H= 1.01
40.00 g/mol
DATA ANALYSIS
1. Calculate the molarity (i.e. the target molarity) of NaOH you prepared based on the
actual mass and volume used.
Trial 1 = 0.4556
204.22
= 0.002 mol
Trial 2 = 0.5065
204.22
= 0.002 mol
3. Determine the number of moles of NaOH titrated based upon the reaction with KHP for
both trials.
Moles NaOH = moles KHP x 1 mol NaOH
1 mol KHP
Exercise: Compare the actual molarity of your NaOH solution with that of your
target molarity. Suggest reasons for any difference (IF ANY). Account for this
difference.
