Example 1: Potassium hydrogen phthalate, KHC8H4O4 (MM = 204.23), is a primary standard acid
that reacts with sodium hydroxide on a 1:1 molar basis. Results showed that 0.5893 g of primary
standard grade potassium hydrogen phthalate required 22.49 mL of the titrant solution to reach the
phenolphthalein end point. Calculate the molar concentration of the NaOH solution.
