Question 5
If 0.664 g of an acid was required to neutralize 10.0 mL of 0.800 M NaOH,
calculate the Molar Mass of
the acid given it reacts with sodium hydroxide in a 1:2 istio.e., 1 ACID : 2 NaOH. (3)

Respuesta :

The molar mass of the acid is 83 g/mol

Stoichiometry

From the question, we are to determine the Molar mass of the acid.

From the given information,

The acid reacts with sodium hydroxide in a 1:2 ratio

This means 1 mole of the acid reacts with 2 moles of sodium hydroxide

First, we will calculate the number of moles of NaOH present.

Volume of NaOH = 10.0 mL = 0.01 L

Concentration of NaOH = 0.800 M

Using the formula,

Number of moles = Concentration × Volume

Number of moles of NaOH present = 0.800 × 0.01

Number of moles of NaOH present = 0.008 moles

If, 1 mole of the acid reacts with 2 moles of sodium hydroxide

Then,

0.004 moles of the acid will react with the 0.008 moles of sodium hydroxide

Thus, number of moles of the acid that reacted is 0.004 moles

Now for the Molar mass of the acid

From the formula,

[tex]Molar\ mass = \frac{Mass}{Numbber\ of\ moles}[/tex]

From the given information,

Mass of the acid = 0.664 g

Therefore,

[tex]Molar \ mass \ of \ the \ acid \ = \frac{0.664}{0.004}[/tex]

Molar mass of the acid = 166 g/mol

Hence, the molar mass of the acid is 166 g/mol
