back titration calculations
« on: December 18, 2005, 03:51:04 PM »
I'm doing a titration lab to identify an unknown acid.  The acid was insoluble so i had to do a back titration to dissolve the acid (0.46g of the acid).  I used 25mL 0.5M NaOH to dissolve the acid and then i titrated that with 35mL of HCl. I have no clue what to do next if i should calculate the molarity of the HCl and then figuring out the mols of acid to find the molar mass. please *delete me*

Quite opposite - HCl molarity should be known to you to allow calculation of number of moles of acid in the titrated sample.

Thanks borek that helped alot. I finally figured out what the unknown acid was.  :D
