(c) The contents of a laboratory reagent bottle containing solid potassium hydroxide, KOH(s) , hasbeen contaminated by moisture. You have been given the job of determining the extent ofcontamination. This is to be done by titrating a solution of this KOH with a standardisedhydrochloric acid solution (HCl) of pH 1.14. You are to use the following procedure:

Step 1: Dissolve 2.80 g of the contaminated KOH(s) into 500.0 mL of solution.

Step 2: Fill a burette with this solution and use it to titrate a 20.00 mL sample of the HCl (aq)using a suitable indicator.

Step 3: Repeat the titrations until a consistent end point is obtained.

After completing the titrations, the following data is available:

• Titration end point = 15.80 mL of KOH(aq) .• pH of HCl (aq) = 1.14.

• Titration reaction is H+

(aq) + OH–(aq) → H2O(l) .
