10.94 mL of KOH solution is required to titrate 0.5361 g of potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP; FW=204.224) to the Phenolphthalein endpoint. If 27.96 mL of this solution is required to titrate 96.34 mL of HCl to the Phenolphthalein endpoint, what is the concentration of the HCl solution?
__________ M
moles of KOH = moles of KHP
moles of KHP = 0.5361 / 204.224
= 2.625 x 10^-3 mol
moles of KOH = 2.625 x 10^-3 mol
Molarity of KOH = 2.625 x 10^-3 / 0.01094
= 0.240 M
KOH + HCl ------------> KCl + H2O
millimoles of KOH = millimoles of HCl
0.240 x 27.96 = 96.34 x M
M = 0.0696
Molarity of HCl = 0.06964 M
