how do i calculate the mass percent of acetic acid in acetic acid solution using an average concentration, average density, and the molar mass of acetic acid?

Question

marmar10 · Answer

average concentration = .8509 M
average density = .9987 g/mL
molar mass = 60.05 g/mol

im getting 5% but i feel like thats too low?

anonymous · Answer

First  write a balanced equation.

anonymous · Answer

Remember that Molarity is moles over liters of solution.

marmar10 · Answer

the balanced equation is$$C _{2}H _{4}O _{2}+NaOH \rightarrow C _{2}H _{3}O _{2}Na+ H _{2}O$$

@Marmar10 did they give you any more info?

marmar10 · Answer

@Photon336 well this is from an acid-base titration lab i did recently. what other info do i need? the question says to use the average concentration and density and the molar mass of acetic acid. i could show you how i did it but i feel like its not right.
