Question

25 mL of 0.107 M H3PO4 was titrated with 0.115 M solution of NaOH to the end point identified by indicator bromocresol green. This required 23.1 mL The titration was repeated using phenolphthalein as indicator. This time 25 mL of 0.107 M H3PO4 required 46.2 mL of the 0.115 M NaOH. What is the coefficient n in the following reaction?
H3PO4+nOH[H3nPO4]n+nH2O.

Solution

Number of milliequivalents of H3PO4
=25×0.107×n
=2.675×n
In first titration: Number of milliequivalents of OH used
=23.1×0.115×1=2.66
(Acidity of NaOH=1)
In second titration: Number of milliequivalent of OH used
=46.2×0.115×1=5.313
In first titration: 2.675×n=2.66
i.e., n=1
In second titration: 2.675×n=5.313
n=2.
