A 5.00 mL sample of vinegar, an aqueous solution of acetic acid (HC2H3O2), is titrated with 0.0599 M Ca(OH)2, and 33.93 mL of the Ca(OH)2 solution is required to reach the equivalence point. What is the molarity of the acetic acid? Group of answer choices

Answer:

Molarity of acetic acid is 0.812 M

Explanation:

Balanced reaction: [tex]2HC_{2}H_{3}O_{2}+Ca(OH)_{2}\rightleftharpoons Ca(C_{2}H_{3}O_{2})_{2}+2H_{2}O[/tex]

According to balanced equation, 1 mol of [tex]Ca(OH)_{2}[/tex] neutralizes 2 moles of [tex]HC_{2}H_{3}O_{2}[/tex]

Number of moles of [tex]Ca(OH)_{2}[/tex] in 33.93 mL of 0.0599 M [tex]Ca(OH)_{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{0.0599\times 33.93}{1000}moles=0.00203moles[/tex]

Let's assume molarity of [tex]HC_{2}H_{3}O_{2}[/tex] is C (M)

Then, number of moles acetic acid were neutralized  = [tex]\frac{5.00\times C}{1000}moles=0.005C[/tex]

So, [tex]0.005C=2\times 0.00203[/tex]

or, [tex]C=0.812[/tex]

So, molarity of acetic acid is 0.812 M      

The Molarity of acetic acid is 0.812 M.

Calculation of the molarity:

But before that first we have to determine the number of moles

= 0.0599 * 33.93 / 1000

= 0.00203 miles

Now the molarity should be

= 5.00 * C/1000 = 0.005C

So,

0.005C = 2 * 0.00203

So, C = 0.812 M

hence, we can conclude that The Molarity of acetic acid is 0.812 M.
