In a titration, 19.03 mL of NaOH (0.0940M) was required to titrate 20 ml aliquot solution (of 2.0038 g of unknown acid in 100 ml volumetric flask). What is the molar mass of the unknown acid?
do we know the stoichiometric relation between the acid and NaOH?
because if we do, we could use it. For example if it's a one to one ratio between NaOH and the acid, that would infer that they have the same number of moles.
We could get the moles of NaOH by multiplying 0.01903L and 0.0940M
once we get the mole, we could have grams/moles to get molar mass
The stoichiometric relation is one to one. And the mole of NaOH is 0.0940 M. Now, what should I do?
@amishra are you there?
Yeah
Since the ration is 1:1, the mole of NaOH is the same as the mole of the acid. You could just divide the mole by the mass. So grams/mole, and you have your molar mass.
