When the concentration of your suspect overshot value is


1. To titrate 1.016 g of potassium hydrogen phthalate with sodium hydroxide solution, the buret containing the NaOH solution initially read 0.55 ml, and at the endpoint of the titration read 44.32 ml. If no correction factor is needed for the buret, what concentration NaOH would be calculated from this titration data?

2. You suspect that you overshot the endpoint of the titration (or added too much NaOH solution in your first attempt at titrating the KHP with NaOH.) Since the calculations are simple you go ahead and calculate the concentration of NaOH for this first titration along with the values for later titrations. When the concentration of your suspect (overshot) value is compared to the concentration values of the rest of your titrations what would you look for in the calculated concentration to confirm your suspicion of having overshot the end point?
