7. HKC8H4O4 + NaOH -----> NaKC8H4O4 + H2O

(0.128 g KHP)(1 mol / 204.23 g KHP ) = 6.267 x 10-4 mol KHP

(6.267 x 10-4 mol KHP)(1 mol NaOH / 1 mol KHP) = 6.267 x 10-4 mol NaOH

6.267 x 10-4 mol NaOH / 0.02854 L NaOH = 0.0220 M NaOH

8. HCl + NaOH -----> NaCl + H2O
(0.02372 L NaOH)(0.0220 mol NaOH / 1 L NaOH) = 5.218 x 10-4 mol NaOH

(5.218 x 10-4 mol NaOH)(1 mol HCl / 1 mol NaOH) = 5.218 x 10-4 mol HCl

5.218 x 10-4 mol HCl / 0.02000 L HCl = 0.0261 M HCl
