Titration lab!
« on: September 23, 2008, 10:22:59 PM »
I'm doing a pre-lab for a titration lab and the following question has been giving me a little grief:

KHP is a weak monoprotic acid, how many moles of NaOH are required to neutralize 0.616g of KHP?

I know that KHP is actually KHC8H4O4 and calculated the amu to be 204g/mol and therefore that 0.616g is 0.00302 mol. 

That was all easy but what my question is, is that if the ratio of KHP to NaOH in the chemical is 1:1, does that mean that 0.00302 mol of NaOH are needed?
