An analytical chemist weighs out 0.093g of an unknown monoprotic acid into a 250mL volumetric flask and dilutes to the mark with

distilled water. He then titrates this solution with 0.1600M NaOH solution. When the titration reaches the equivalence point, the chemist finds he has added 6.5mL of NaOH solution. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown acid. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer:

The molar mass of the unknown acid is 89 g/mol

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> The balanced equation

HA(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaA(aq) + H2O(l)

It takes 1 mole of NaOH to neutralize 1 mole of the triprotic acid. This is called the reaction stoichiometry.

<u>Step 2:</u> Data given

Mass of the acid = 0.093 grams

volume = 250 mL

titrates with 0.16 M NaOH

adds 6.5 mL NaOH

<u>Step 3: </u>Calculate moles of NaOH

We know the concentration and volume of NaOH needed to neutralize the acid.

By determining the moles of NaOH in that volume in liters (95.9mL=0.0959L), the moles of acid in the original sample can be determined from the reaction stoichiometry.

Moles = Molarity * Volume

Moles = 0.16 M * 0.0065 L

Moles = 0.00104 moles NaOH

<u>Step 4: </u>Calculate moles of the unknown acid:

It takes 1 mole of NaOH to neutralize 1 mole of the triprotic acid. This is called the reaction stoichiometry.

For 0.00104 moles NaOH we have 0.00104 moles of HA

<u>Step 5: </u>Calculate the molar mass of the acid

Molar mass Ha = Mass Ha / moles Ha

Molar mass Ha = 0.093 grams / 0.00104 moles

Molar mass Ha = 89.42 g/mol ≈89 g/mol

The molar mass of the unknown acid is 89 g/mol

Does volume alone determine whether an object will sink or float? Explain.
Bond [772]

Answer:

no.

Density (mass / volume) determines whether an object floats or sinks. If the object is less dense than the medium in which it has been submerged, it floats. if it is more dense, it sinks. Volume will definitely determine if a steel ship floats, as steel is far more dense than water.

Why is ozone an important form of oxygen?
Anton [14]
Ozone is made up of 3 atoms of Oxygen and present in stratosphere of our atmosphere. It prevents us from "Ultraviolet rays" of Sunlight so it is an important form of oxygen or us

A photon has 8.0 × 10–15 J of energy. Planck’s constant is 6.63 × 10–34 J•s. What is the frequency of the photon
german
The formula is:
frequency * h (Planck's constant) = Energy
So, to find frequency you need just divide energy by the constant:
frequency = (8 * 10^-15 J) / (6.63 * 10^-34 J*s) = 1.2 * 10^19 1/s or 1.2 * 10^19 Hz
