Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of base used = (31.79 - 1.6) + (32.12 - 0.98) + (42.87 -13.21)/3 = 30.34 cm3
Volume of acid used = (24.86 - 0.42) + (24.11 - 0.11) + (27.67 -3.42)/3 = 24.23 cm3
For trial 1= number of moles of HBr = 24.44/1000 * 0.3 = 0.0073 moles
For trial 2= number of moles of HBr = 24/1000 * 0.3 = 0.0072 moles
For trial 3= number of moles of HBr = 0.0089 moles
HBr(aq) + KOH(aq) -----> KBr(aq) + H2O(l)
One mole of base is required to neutralize one mole of acid.
From CAVA/CBVB =nA/nB
CAVAnB = CBVBnA
CB = CAVAnB/VBnA
CB = 0.3 * 24.23 * 1/30.34 * 1
CB = 0.24 moldm-3
number of moles of KOH = concentration * volume
number of moles = mass/molar mass
molar mass of KOH = 56 g/mol
mass/56 = 0.24 * 30.34/1000
mass = 0.24 * 30.34/1000 * 56
mass =0.408 g of KOH
