Question

In preparing to stardardize a NaOH solution, a student dissolves a KHC8H4O4 sample in 100ml of deionized water instead 50ml of water. Will this effect the measured molar concentration of the NaOH solution? Explain.

Explanation / Answer

No because the measured molar concentration of NaOH is not dependent on volume of deionized water used. It is dependent on the amount of KHC8H4O4 used.
