    check this answer for me , I did it!
    standardization of NaOH solution:
    a)volume of 6.0M NaOH solution used: 20mL
    b)approximate[NaOH] after dilution to 400mL: 0.5M
    c)weight of empty flask: 86.525g
    d)weight of flask plus KHP: 87.253g
    e)weight of KHP: 0.728g
    f)moles of KHP: 0.00356mol
    g)moles of NaOH: same answer as moles of KHP
    h)initial buret reading: 0mL
    I)final buret reading: 28.49mL
    j)volume of NaOH used up: 28.49mL
    k)[NaOH]: 0.00356mole/0.02849L NaOH= 0.12496M

    Is it correct? Value of K is correct??

    For b), if you used the 6.0 molar NaOH to get it, that would be 0.3 M

    No. of moles of NaOH in 20 mL of 6.0 M NaOH = 0.12 mol
    No. of moles of NaOH in the 400 mL diluted NaOH = 0.12 mol
    No. of moles of NaOH in 1000 mL of diluted NaOH = (0.12/400) * 1000 = 0.3 mol

    f) by KHP, you mean potassium hydrogen phosphide? I have never used this compound, but something is strange in that formula. K forms a +1 ion, H forms a +1 ion and P forms -3 ions, giving either KH2P or K2HP. If that's so, all your following work will carry the error.

    g) If you took the Mr of KHP as (39.1+1+31) 71.1, then, you have (0.728/71.1) 0.0102 mol.

    Btw, is that a practical that you performed or you were just given these values?

    weight of KHP is 0.728g
    so I think Moles of KHP is = mass/204.23g/mol
    so, its 0.728g/204.23g/mol=0.00356mol

    so, do you think that my k is correct?
    [NaOHJ]=moles/L of NaOH=0.00356mol/0.02849L=0.12496M

    in K do I have to use f) or b) ? I think I should use moles for f

    please help me

    I had to Google what KHP was...

    Ok, yes, the answer is good.

    However, you still haven't answered my above question,

    Ohh.. sorry
    Its my experimental values.
    Do u think any value have problem?

    pleaselet me know and Thank you so much

    Yes, for b) I don't understand how you got 0.5M.

    You have 0.12 mol of NaOH in 20 mL of 6.0M NaOH
    You diluted that 0.12 mol from 20 mL to 400 mL. That gives a concentration of 0.3 M, not 0.5 M

    You still have 0.12 mol in 400 mL.
    400 mL -> 0.12 mol
    1 mL -> 0.12/400 mol
    1000 mL -> (0.12/400) * 1000 = 0.3 mol

    So, [NaOH] = 0.3 M

    Then, I don't know if they do it like that where you are, but I was told that we always had to make averages when titrating. I mean, perform minimum 2 titrations and use the average of the two volumes used.

    okay thanks! For B
    and yes I did test twice
    but I just didn't wrote value of test 2

    but l) I got 0.11421M
    I added two tests[NaOH] and divided by 2.

    Thanks

    Oh, OK, things get clearer, phew! Ok, on to the next part, sample 2 now.
