Question:

A 1.421-g sample of commercial KOH contaminated by K2CO3 was dissolved in water, and the resulting solution was diluted to 500.0 mL. A 50.00-mL aliquot of this solution was treated with 40.00 mL of 0.05567 M HCl and boiled to remove CO2. The excess acid consumed 5.43 mL of 0.04983 M NaOH (phenolphthalein indicator). An excess of neutral BaCl2 was added to another 50.00-mL aliquot to precipitate the carbonate as BaCO3. The solution was then titrated with 29.04 mL of the acid to a phenolphthalein end point. Calculate the percentage KOH, K2CO3, and H2O in the sample, assuming that these are the only compounds present.
