Consider an 50.0 mL analyte solution containing 0.50 g of KHP, titrated against 0.10 M sodium hydroxide, NaOH
(a) What is the chemical equation representing the titration reaction?
(b) Sketch a cartoon of the beaker at the start of the titration, before any NaOH is added that demonstrates which ions or molecules are present in the solution? You only need to list chemical species that are present in appreciable quantities - anything that you would put as a concentration greater than 0 in the “Initial” row of an ICE table. Approximately what should the pH of this solution be assuming it is at room temperature?
(c) Which of species you identified in part (b) will determine the pH of the solution?
