A student is performing a titration to analyze a solution of potassium hydroxide (KOH\text{KOH}KOH).
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.
During the titration, the following volumes of dilute hydrochloric acid were recorded to neutralize the potassium hydroxide:
Identify the anomalous trial and calculate the mean volume of acid used, using only the concordant results.
