1 markA student titrated 25.0 cm3 of 0.30 mol dm-3 of aqueous potassium hydroxide, KOH (aq), with 0.10 mol dm-3 of aqueous phosphoric(V) acid, H3PO4 (aq). The equation for the reaction is shown below.
H3PO4 (aq) + 3KOH (aq) → K3PO4 (aq) + 3H2O (l)
Which statement is correct?
If the concentration of H3PO4 (aq) is doubled, the volume of KOH (aq) required to reach the end point will be halved.
The end point is reached when 25.0 cm3 of H3PO4 (aq) has been added.
Once the titration is complete, 0.00750 mol of H2O is present.
The end point is reached when 75.0 cm3 of H3PO4 (aq) has been added.
