A 0.623 g sample of a monoprotic acid is dissolved in water and titrated with 0.260 M KOH.
What is the molar mass of the acid if 19.0 mL of the KOH solution is required to neutralize the sample?

Respuesta :

Answer:

126. g/mol is the molar mass of the acid .

Explanation:

[tex]HA+KOH\rightarrow KA+H_2O[/tex]

Moles of KOH = n

Volume of the solution of KOH = 19.0 mL = 0.019 L

Molarity of the KOH solution = 0.260 M

[tex]Molarity=\frac{Moles}{Volume(L)}[/tex]

[tex]0.260M=\frac{n}{0.019 L}[/tex]

[tex]n=0.260 M\times 0.019 L=0.00494 mol[/tex]

Accrding to recation, 1 mol KOH react with 1 mole of HA ,then 0.00494 mol of KOH will react with :

[tex]\frac{1}{1}\times 0.00494 mol=0.00494 mol[/tex] of HA

Mass of HA = 0.623 g

Molar mass of HA = M

[tex]0.00494 mol=\frac{0.623 g}{M}[/tex]

[tex[M=\frac{0.623 g}{0.00494 mol}=126. g/mol[/tex]

126. g/mol is the molar mass of the acid .
