Answer:
molarity of acid =0.0132 M
Explanation:
We are considering that the unknown acid is monoprotic. Let the acid is HA.
The reaction between NaOH and acid will be:
[tex]NaOH+HA--->NaA+H_{2}O[/tex]
Thus one mole of acid will react with one mole of base.
The moles of base reacted = molarity of NaOH X volume of NaOH
The volume of NaOH used = Final burette reading - Initial reading
Volume of NaOH used = 22.50-0.55= 21.95 mL
Moles of NaOH = 0.1517X21.95=3.33 mmole
The moles of acid reacted = 3.33 mmole
The molarity of acid will be = [tex]\frac{mmole}{volumne(mL)}=\frac{0.33}{25}=0.0132M[/tex]
