a) How will the concentration of NaOH be affected if during the titration some of the solid potassium hydrogen phthalate was spilled during the transfer? Will the concentration of the standardized NaOH increase, decrease, or have no effect?

b) How will the molar mass of an unknown acid be affected if some of the solid remained after the titration was complete? Will the concentration of the molar increase, decrease, or have no effect?

c) How will the concentration of acetic acid in vinegar be affected if the liquid retained in the pipet is blown out? Will the concentration of acetic acid in vinegar increase, decrease, or have no effect?

d) How will the concentration of acetic acid in vinegar be affected if during the titration an air bubble appears in the tip of the buret? Will the concentration increase, decrease, or have no effect?

1) What effect would each of the errors described below have on the concentration of potassium hydrogenphthalate?

a) If some of the solid potassium hydrogen phthalate is spilled during the transfer, it will affect the concentration of NaOH during the titration. The concentration of the standardized NaOH will decrease. This is because the spilled solid would have contributed to the volume and therefore the concentration of NaOH in the titration reaction. With less solid, the concentration of NaOH will be lower.

b) If some of the solid remains after the titration is complete, it will affect the molar mass of the unknown acid. The molar mass of the acid will be higher than the calculated value. This is because the remaining solid contributed to the mass used in the calculation. Thus, the molar mass will be underestimated if some of the solid remains.

c) If the liquid retained in the pipet is blown out, it will affect the concentration of acetic acid in vinegar. The concentration of acetic acid in vinegar will decrease. This is because the blown out liquid contained acetic acid and contributed to the volume used in the concentration calculation. With less liquid, the concentration of acetic acid will be lower.

d) If an air bubble appears in the tip of the buret during the titration, it will affect the concentration of acetic acid in vinegar. The concentration will be underestimated. This is because the volume of the air bubble displaces the volume of the acetic acid and reduces the effective concentration available for reaction. As a result, the measured concentration of acetic acid will be lower.

a) If some of the solid potassium hydrogen phthalate is spilled during the transfer in a titration, it will affect the concentration of the standardized NaOH. Specifically, it will decrease the concentration of the NaOH. This is because the spillage results in a smaller amount of solid being titrated, and thus a smaller amount of NaOH required to neutralize it. As a result, the concentration of the standardized NaOH will decrease.

To determine this, you can calculate the molarity of the standardized NaOH solution before and after the spillage. Start by determining the moles of potassium hydrogen phthalate originally present based on its weight and molar mass. Then, calculate the moles of NaOH required to neutralize this amount of potassium hydrogen phthalate and divide by the volume of NaOH solution used. This will give you the original molarity of the NaOH solution. Repeat the same calculation accounting for the spillage to find the molarity after the spillage. Comparing the two values will show that the concentration of the NaOH decreased.

b) If some of the solid remains after the titration is complete, it will affect the calculated molar mass of the unknown acid. The concentration of the molar mass will also be affected in this case, and specifically, it will be higher than the actual value. This is because the remaining solid will increase the mass of the acid used in the titration, leading to a lower calculated amount of moles. As a result, the molar mass, which is calculated by dividing the mass of the acid used by the moles of acid, will be overestimated.

To account for this, it is important to ensure that all of the solid is fully dissolved during the titration. This can be done by ensuring complete mixing and dissolution of the acid in the solvent before proceeding with the titration. Additionally, multiple trials can be performed to ensure accuracy and consistency in the results.

c) If the liquid retained in the pipet is blown out, it will affect the concentration of acetic acid in vinegar. Specifically, it will decrease the concentration. This is because blowing out the liquid retained in the pipet results in a loss of acetic acid, leading to a smaller volume being titrated. As a result, the concentration of acetic acid in the vinegar will decrease.

To ensure an accurate measurement of the concentration, it is important to avoid blowing out the retained liquid in the pipet. Instead, carefully transfer the liquid to the appropriate container without losing any of the solution. This will allow for an accurate determination of the concentration of acetic acid in the vinegar.

d) If an air bubble appears in the tip of the buret during the titration, it will not significantly affect the concentration of acetic acid in vinegar. This is because the air bubble occupies a minimal volume compared to the overall volume of the solution being titrated. Therefore, its presence will have no significant impact on the concentration determination.

To minimize the possibility of air bubbles during titration, it is important to ensure that the buret is properly filled and any air bubbles are removed before starting the titration. This can be achieved by slowly releasing the solution from the buret to allow any trapped air to escape, thus minimizing the chances of air bubbles forming during the titration process.

a)Here are the equations used for the standardization of NaoH>

1. moles KHP = grams/molar mass
2. moles NaOH = moles KHP
3. M NaOH = moles NaOH/L NaOH
If KHP is spilled that means grams is too small in equn 1 which makes moles small; eqn 2 makes moles NaOH too small, #3 makes M NaOH too small.

b)equation:
1. moles NaOH = L x M
2. moles NaOH = moles unknown acid
3. molar mass = grams/moles acid

If some of the acid were not titrataed, then eqn 1 gives L too small which makes moles NaOH too small. Eqn 2 means moles unk acid too small. Eqn 3 means molar mass too large.

c)equations:
1. L x M = moles NaOH
2. moles vinegar = moles NaoH
3. L x M = concn vinegar.

Volume in pipet blown out means L equn 1 too large, that makes moles vinegar and moles NaOH too large (equn 2). and eqn 3 makes concn vinegar too large.

d)refer to equations in c.
Air bubble appears in buret tip (but remains in the tip) means extra NaOH must be added so volume is too large frm equn 1 so moles NaOH too large, equn 2 means vinegar too high, and equn 3 means concn vinegar too high.
