Title: Can you help me with this AP Chemistry Question? Post by: tom on Aug 22, 2012 Suppose your labratory instructor inadvertantly gave you a sample of KHP that was contaminated with NaCl to standardizr you NaOH. How would this affect the normality you calculated for your NaOH solution? Justify your answer.

The actual amount of KHP, though, which you have would be less than the amount you weighed out. Thus, you would need less NaOH to neutralize it, and the calculated molarity of your NaOH would be lower. |
