Not likely. Potassium nitrate, KNO3 is the salt of a strong acid (HNO3) and a strong base (KOH). Thus, the pH of a solution of KNO3 will be very close to pH=7, depending really on the pH of the water used to make the solution. There is no way to get it to pH = 8.75. You'd need to used something like potassium acetate, the salt of a strong base and a weak acid.

What is the resulting molarity of a solution made by mixing equal volumes of solutions of HCl and NaOH each of molarity 1M?

As a thought experiment - suppose you mixed one liter of 1M HCl with 1 liter of 1M NaOH. The resulting solution (neglecting any density changes associated with mixing) would contain 2 liters with 1 mole of Cl- and 1 mole of Na+ with the balance being water (the H+ from the HCl and the OH- from the NaOH would just become part of the water). This would give you a 0.5 M solution of NaCl.


Why is it thermodynamically possible for some ionic solids to dissolve even though the solution process is endothermic?

Even though the process is endothermic, the dissolving of the solid increases the entropy enough to more than compensate for the drop in temperature.

Why is potassium permanganate used in titration experiment despite being a secondary standard solution?

kmno4 is very good oxidizing agent. that means it is easily reduced by any other reagent. so it can't be considered as primary standard as its concentration changes upon free leaving
