A 0.462 g sample of a monoprotic acid is dissolved in water and titrated with 0.180 m KOH. What is the molar mass of the acid if 28.5 ml of the KOH solution is required to neutralize the sample?

Respuesta :

The molar mass of the acid if 28. 5 ml of the Koh solution is required to neutralize the sample is 90.23g/mol.

Molarity = (moles of solute/volume of solution) × 1000

Given,

Molarity of KOH solution = 0.180 M

Volume of solution = 28.5 mL

0.180 = (moles of KOH/ 28.5) × 1000

Moles = (0.18× 28.5)/1000

Moles = 0.00513 mol

Chemical equation:

HA + KOH ------- KA + H2O

1 mole of KOH reacts with 1 mole of HA.

So, 0.00513 moles of KOH react with 0.00513 moles of HA.

Number of moles= given mass/ Molar mass

Given,

Mass of HA = 0.462 g

Moles of HA = 0.00512 mol

0.00512 = 0.462/ Molar mass

Molar mass = 90.23 g/ mol.

Therefore, 90.23g/mol of HA is needed to neutralize 28.5 mL of KOH.
