Titration: finding molar mass of an acid
« on: April 28, 2008, 09:46:30 PM »
How do i find the molar mass of a weak monoprotic acid mathematically in the given scenario?  :

Using the known concentration of HCl, first standardize NaOH solution (find its concentration in mol/L).  Using the standard base, you will then titrate an unknown solid acid (its mass is given) and calculate the # of grams of this acid that reacts with one mole of base.  This represents the molar lass of the unknown acid.
thx.

You are told it is a monoprotic acid.

This means that however many mols of base are required to neutralize your acid = number of mols of acid. Correct?

If you know the number of mols per a give mass of the substance, you know the molar mass (mols/mass).
