A student weighs 0.347 g of KHP on a laboratory balance. The KHP was titrated with NaOH and the concentration of the NaOH determined to be 0.110 M. For the second titration, the student correctly diluted 6 M HCl from the reagent shelf using a graduated cylinder to obtain approximately 0.6 M HCl. This solution was titrated with the original NaOH solution. The student calculated the concentration of NaOH from the experiment to be 0.099 M. In which experiment should the student be more confident of the concentration of the NaOH solution

Following are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

Each method through KHP is somewhat more precise since we have weighed that requisite quantity, we exactly know the KHP intensity appropriately. Its initial 6 M HCl concentration was never considered mandatory. They have probably prepared 6 M HCl solution although long ago and could have changed its concentration over even a period.

atomic mass = 39

number of neutrons = 20

number of protons= 19

electronic configuration = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

the number of electron in first shell = 2

number of electrons in n=3 shell = 8
