This is a question for a lab about the standardization of an acid and base. In the lab, we used the weight of KHP to calculate the moles of NaOH and the molarity of NaOH( KHP and NaOH have a 1;1 mole ratio in the reaction). Then, we used the molarity of NaOH to calculate the molarity of HCl.    If you recorded the weight of the KHP incorrectly, the value was too low, how would this effect the molarity of the HCl you calculate?

Question

This is a question for a lab about the standardization of an acid and base. In the lab, we used the weight of KHP to calculate the moles of NaOH and the molarity of NaOH( KHP and NaOH have a 1;1 mole ratio in the reaction). Then, we used the molarity of NaOH to calculate the molarity of HCl. 

 

If you recorded the weight of the KHP incorrectly, the value was too low, how would this effect the molarity of the HCl you calculate?

I think the calculated molarity of HCl would be lower than what it should be. I just want to double check
