A 29.00−mL sample of an unknown H3PO4 solution is titrated with a 0.130M NaOH solution. The equivalence point is reached when 27.73mL of NaOH solution is added.What is the concentration of the unknown H3PO4 solution? The neutralization reaction is: H3PO4(aq)+3NaOH(aq)→3H2O(l)+Na3PO4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first find the amount of moles of NaOH

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i did but it keeps telling me my answer is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats not what i got

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first step is to find the number of moles of NaOH

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.13 mol/L x 0.02773L = 4.688mol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The molar ratio is 1:3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so divide 4.688/3 = 1.563 mol of H3PO4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The last step is to divide the moles by the volume

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.563mol/0.029 L = 53.9 mol/L

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does that work?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem :) Don't forget to metal
