The titration of 78.5 mL of an unknown concentration H3PO4 solution requires 134 mL of 0.224 M KOH solution. What is the concentration of the H3PO4 solution

0.127 M.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

H3PO4 + 3KOH —› K3PO4 + 3H2O

From the balanced equation above, we obtained the following data:

Mole ratio of acid, H3PO4 (nA) = 1

Mole ratio of base, KOH (nB) = 3

Data obtained from the question include:

Volume of acid, H3PO4 (Va) = 78.5 mL

Molarity of acid, H3PO4 (Ma) =...?

Volume of base, KOH (Vb) = 134 mL

Molarity of base, KOH (Mb) = 0.224 M

The concentration of the acid, H3PO4 can be obtained as follow:

MaVa / MbVb = nA/nB

Ma x 78.5 / 0.224 x 134 = 1/3

Cross multiply

Ma x 78.5 x 3 = 0.224 x 134 x 1

Divide both side by 78.5 x 3

Ma = (0.224 x 134 x 1) /(78.5 x 3)

Ma = 0.127 M

Therefore, the concentration of the acid, H3PO4 is 0.127 M.

where's the diagram?

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
