Calculating Molar Mass from Titration Data

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The molar mass of the weak acid (HA) was calculated using titration data, specifically a 0.149 g sample that required 16.80 mL of 0.110 M NaOH to reach the equivalence point. The calculation involved determining the moles of NaOH used, resulting in 0.001848 moles. The final molar mass was computed as 80.63 g/mol, with minor discrepancies attributed to rounding errors in calculations.

PREREQUISITES

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!
