SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating the molarity of an NaOH solution used to titrate 1.390 g of KHP (Potassium Hydrogen Phthalate). The initial buret reading was 0.73 mL, and the final reading was 22.38 mL, leading to a total volume of NaOH used of 21.65 mL. To determine the molarity, one must first calculate the moles of KHP using its formula weight, then apply the molarity formula: Molarity = moles/Liters.
