The formula for the monoprotic acid is taken as HA, reaction with base is as follows;
HA + NaOH ---> NaA + H₂O
Stoichiometry of acid to base is 1:1
At the neutralisation point, number of HA moles = number of base moles
Number of NaOH moles reacted = 0.100M / 1000 mL /L x 30.0 mL = 0.003 mol
Therefore number of HA moles reacted = 0.003 mol
the mass of acid 0.384 g
Therefore molar mass - 0.384 g/ 0.003 mol = 128 g/mol
Answer:
H2O2 → H2O + 1/2O2
Explanation:
0.0800 mol of H2O2 decomposed into 0.0800 mol of H2O and 0.0400 mol of O2
H2O2 → H2O + 1/2O2 - Descomposition reaction.

Answer:
The base is involved in the rate determining step of an E2 reaction mechanism
Explanation:
Let us get back to the basics. Looking at an E1 reaction, the rate determining step is unimolecular, that is;
Rate = k [Carbocation] since the rate determining step is the formation of a carbonation.
For an E2 reaction however, the reaction is bimolecular hence for the rate determining step we can write;
Rate = k[alkyl halide] [base]
The implication of this is that an excess of either the alkyl halide or base will facilitate an E2 reaction.
Hence, when excess base is used, E2 reaction is favoured since the base is involved in its rate determining step. In an E1 reaction, the base is not involved in the rate determining step hence an excess of the base has no effect on an E1 reaction.
