    0.05142 M

    Explanation:

    Let's consider the neutralization reaction between KHP and NaOH.

    KHC₈H₄O₄ + NaOH → H₂O + NaKC₈H₄O₄

    12.39 mL of 0.04150 M NaOH were required for the neutralization. The moles that reacted are:

    12.39 * 10⁻³ L * 0.04150 mol/L = 5.142 * 10⁻⁴ mol

    The molar ratio of KHP to NaOH is 1:1. The moles of KHP that reacted are 5.142 * 10⁻⁴ mol.

    5.142 * 10⁻⁴ moles of KHP were in 10 mL of solution. The concentration of the KHP solution is:

    5.142 * 10⁻⁴ mol / 10 * 10⁻³ L = 0.05142 M
