Question

A chemist must prepare 900.0 mL of potassium hydroxide solution with a pH of 12.20 at 25°C.
He will do this in three steps:
• Fill a 900.0 mL volumetric flask about halfway with distilled water.
• Weigh out a small amount of solid potassium hydroxide and add it to the flask.
. Fill the flask to the mark with distilled water.
Calculate the mass of potassium hydroxide that the chemist must weigh out in the second step. Round your answer to 2 significant digits and put your answer in grams (g).

    Answer:

    0.80 g

    Explanation:

    First we calculate the required pOH from the given pH value:

    • pOH = 14 – pH
    • pOH = 14 – 12.20 = 1.80

    Then we calculate the required concentration of OH⁻, using the pOH:

    • pOH = -log[OH⁻]
    • [OH⁻] = 10^{-1.80} = 0.0158 M

    As the concentration of OH⁻ species is the sames as the concentration of KOH, we need to prepare 900 mL of a 0.0158 M KOH solution:

    We calculate how many KOH moles are required, using the concentration and volume:

    • Converting 900 mL ⇒ 900 / 1000 = 0.900 L
    • moles = 0.0158 M * 0.900 L = 0.01422 mol

    Finally we convert 0.01422 moles of KOH to grams, using its molar mass:

    • 0.01422 mol * 56 g/mol = 0.80 g
