Description
Potassium hydrogen phthalate, often called simply KHP, is an acidic salt compound. It forms white powder, colorless crystals, a colorless solution, and an ionic solid that is the monopotassium salt of phthalic acid.
Application
Potassium hydrogen phthalate is used as a primary standard for acid- base titrations as well as for calibrating pH meters. It acts as a buffer in pH determination. It finds application as a useful standard for total organic carbon testing.
Notes
A commonly used primary standard for titration with sodium hydroxide solution is the weak acid potassium hydrogen phthalate or KHP (C8H5O4K). In this reaction as well, one mole of KHP completely reacts with one mole of NaOH. ... The data from the titration is then used to calculate the molarity of the NaOH.
Procedure
Potassium hydrogen phthalate makes for a good primary standard because it is stable, high in purity, non-hydroscopic, highly soluble, non-toxic, high in molecular weight, cheap, and available.
