A student placed 14.5g of glucose (C6H12O6) in a volumetric flask, added enough water to dissolve the glucose by swirling, then carefully added additional water until the 100mL mark on the flask was reached. The flask was then shaken until the solution was uniform. A 40mL sample of this glucose solution was diluted to 0.500L. How many grams of glucose are in 100mL of the final solution?

Mass percent KHP using and indicator.

Please show your work in chemical units, with known and unknown.

Show how you would determine the molarity of a NaOH using the titration of the NaOH with a known mass of KHP as a primary standard. Then determine the mass percent of an unknown sample of KHP. Please show how your calculation for your mass of the unknown KHP sample, average mass percent KHP and molarity of the NaOH. You may have as many theoretical samples as you wish.

You begin with:

-G known KHP and ml unknown NaOh used for the standardization of Naoh

and

- G of unknown KHP and ml unknown NaOh used for the unknown KHP
