1. Aim

To standardize a sodium hydroxide solution with the primary standard potassium hydrogen
phthalate using a volume/volume titration.

2. Equation

KH(C8H4O4)(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaK(C8H4O4)(aq) + H2O(l)

3. Reagents

AR Potassium hydrogen phthalate (KH(C8H4O4) or KHP) (Molar mass = 204.23 g mol–1)


Sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH) (ca 0.1 M)
Phenolphthalein indicator

4. Preliminary calculation

1. Mass of potassium hydrogen phthalate needed to prepare 250 mL of approximately 0.10 M


potassium hydrogen phthalate solution:

Moles of KHC8H4O4 = 0.10 mol. L-1 x 0.25 L = 0.025 mol

Mass of KHC8H4O4 = 0.025 mol x 204.224 g. mol-1 = 5.1 g mol

Preparation: Weigh approximately 5.1 g of potassium hydrogen phthalate accurately by


difference into a 250 mL volumetric flask, dissolve with deionized water and dilute to the
mark, mix well.

5. Flow Chart

5.1. Preparation of approximately 0.10 M potassium hydrogen phthalate standard solution

Weigh approximately 5.1 g of potassium hydrogen


phthalate accurately by difference into 250 mL
volumetric flask. Record the mass.

Dissolve potassium hydrogen phthalate with


deionized water, swirl until all dissolved. Dilute to
the mark and mix well.

Calculate the concentration of potassium


hydrogen phthalate prepared.

5.2 Standardisation of approximately 0.10 M NaOH solution using standard 0.10 M potassium hydrogen
phthalate solution

7. Final Calculations

7.1 Molar concentration of KHC8H4O4:

Moles KHC8H4O4 = = mol

[KHC8H4O4] = = mol. L-1

7.2 Molar concentration of NaOH

Moles KHC8H4O4 = mol. L-1 x L = mol

KHC8H4O4(aq) + NaOH(aq)  NaKC8H4O(aq) + H2O(l)

Moles NaOH = mol

[NaOH] = = mol. L-1
