Calculating Molar Mass from Titration Data

Click For Summary
To calculate the molar mass of a weak acid from titration data, a 0.149 g sample of the acid reacts with 16.80 mL of 0.110 M NaOH. The moles of NaOH used are calculated as 0.001848 moles. Dividing the mass of the acid by the moles of NaOH gives a molar mass of approximately 80.69 g/mol, with minor discrepancies attributed to rounding. The discussion confirms that the calculations are correct and emphasizes the importance of using the titration data accurately. The final result is validated through peer confirmation.

The Attempt at a Solution


i don't think i did it right.
i just did 0.0168Lx0.110M= 0.001848 moles
then did 0.149/0.001848 = 80.69 g/mole

dont think that's right though, because i think I am supposed to use NaOH somehow

You have used it to calculate number of moles.

I got 80.63 g/mol, your result differs because of rounding errors.

oh, so i was right :)
ok thank you sir!
