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

Identify the correct coefificients to balance it<br> -C3H8+O2 to -CO2 +-H2O
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

{\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm 5\; O_2} \to {3\; \rm CO_2} + {4\; \rm H_2O}.

Explanation:

{\rm ?\; C_3H_8} + {\rm ?\; O_2} \to {?\; \rm CO_2} + {?\; \rm H_2O}.

Among the four species in this reaction, \rm C_3H_8 is species with the largest number of atoms per molecule. Assume that the coefficient of this compound is 1.

{\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm ?\; O_2} \to {?\; \rm CO_2} + {?\; \rm H_2O}.

Number of atoms on the left-hand side of the reaction:

  • \rm C: 1 \times 3 = 3.
  • \rm H: 1 \times 8 = 8.
  • \rm O: not found yet.

By the conservation of atoms, the number of atoms on the right-hand side of the reaction should match those on the left-hand side. In this reaction, \rm CO_2 is the only product with carbon atoms, whereas \rm H_2O is the only product with hydrogen atoms. These 3 carbon atoms and 8 hydrogen atoms would correspond to:

  • 3 / 1 = 3 \rm CO_2 molecules, and
  • 8 / 2 = 4 \rm H_2O molecules.

{\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm ?\; O_2} \to {3\; \rm CO_2} + {4\; \rm H_2O}.

Number of atoms on the right-hand side of the reaction:

  • \rm C: 3 \times 1 = 3.
  • \rm H: 4 \times 2 = 8.
  • \rm O: 3 \times 2 + 4 \times 1 = 10.

The number of \rm O atoms on the left-hand side should match those on the right-hand side. In this reaction, \rm O_2 is the only reactant with \rm O\! atoms. These 10 \rm \! O atoms would correspond to:

  • 5 \rm O_2 molecules.

{\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm 5\; O_2} \to {3\; \rm CO_2} + {4\; \rm H_2O}.
