5 If the KHP you used was not pure but contained only 50 KHP

5. If the KHP you used was not pure, but contained only 50% KHP and another inactive ingredient, what effect would this have on your calculation of the molar mass of your unknown acid (ie will it be higher or lower and by how much)? Explain your reasoning

Solution

If KHP contains only 50% purity the resulting soution will be lesser than expected. Hence it will take more volume to neutralize the acid. The calculated concentration will be excess (Higher) than actual.
