Answer:

Following are the response to the given question:

Explanation:

In the given scenario, When the balance has never been tainted before the KHP is weighted, which can affect the molar concentration of NaOH because its molarity is directly proportional to the weight including its substance. In this question it is the mistake is systemic because it may be corrected by modifying balancing parameters.
