A student performs a titration of 51.0 mL of a phosphoric
acid (H PO) solution of unknown concentration with a
standardized 1.25 M NaOH solution. The titration requires
26.2 mL of base to reach the third equivalence point. What is
the concentration of the H3PO4
solution?



Sagot :

From the information available in the question, the concentration of the acid is 0.21 M.

H3PO4(aq) + 3NaOH(aq) -----> Na3PO4(aq) + 3H2O(l)

Volume of acid(VA) = 51.0 mL

Concentration of acid (CA) = ?

Volume of base (VB) = 26.2 mL

Concentration of base (CB) = 1.25 M

Number of moles of acid (NA) = 1

Number of moles of base (NB) = 3

Using the formula;

CAVA/CBVB = NA/NB

CAVANB = CBVBNA

CA =  CBVBNA/VANB

CA =  1.25 M × 26.2 mL × 1/51.0 mL × 3

CA = 0.21 M

The concentration of the acid is 0.21 M.
