Question 1

A student is performing a titration to analyze a solution of potassium hydroxide (KOH\text{KOH}KOH).

a.

The student measures 20.0 cm320.0\text{ cm}^320.0 cm3 of potassium hydroxide solution with a concentration of 5.60 g/dm35.60\text{ g/dm}^35.60 g/dm3. Calculate the mass of potassium hydroxide in this sample. Use the conversion: 1 dm3=1000 cm31\text{ dm}^3 = 1000\text{ cm}^31 dm3=1000 cm3.

b.

During the titration, the following volumes of dilute hydrochloric acid were recorded to neutralize the potassium hydroxide:

  • Trial 1: 18.2 cm318.2\text{ cm}^318.2 cm3
  • Trial 2: 18.4 cm318.4\text{ cm}^318.4 cm3
  • Trial 3: 22.1 cm322.1\text{ cm}^322.1 cm3
  • Trial 4: 18.3 cm318.3\text{ cm}^318.3 cm3

Identify the anomalous trial and calculate the mean volume of acid used, using only the concordant results.
