Given the following information: 1.6 g of an unknown monoprotic acid (HA) required 50.80 mL of a 0.35 M NaOH solution to reach the equivalence point, calculate the molar mass (g/mol) of the acid. Enter the value ONLY. Do not include the units.

Answer: 89.9

Explanation:-

The balanced chemical equation is :

[tex]NaOH(aq)+HA(aq)\rightarrow NaAaq)+H_2O(l)[/tex]

To calculate the moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

[tex]\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution in ml}}[/tex]     .....(1)

Molarity of [tex]NaOH[/tex] solution = 0.35 M

Volume of solution = 50.80 ml

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

[tex]0.35M=\frac{\text {moles of} NaOH\times 1000}{50.80ml}[/tex]

[tex]{\text {moles of} NaOH=0.0178[/tex]

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of NaOH reacts with = 1 mole of HCl

Thus 0.0178 moles of NaOH reacts with = [tex]\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0178=0.0178[/tex] moles of HCl

mass of HCl = [tex]moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}[/tex]

1.6g=  [tex]0.0178\times {\text {Molar mass}}[/tex]

Molar mass of HCl = 89.9

The molar mass (g/mol) of the acid is 89.9

Oseni

The molar mass of the monoprotic acid would be 89.99 g/mol

First, let us look at the equation of the reaction:

HA + NaOH ---> NaA + H2O

Mole ratio of acid to base = 1:1

Volume of NaOH required = 50.80 mL

Molarity of NaOH = 0.35 M

Mole of NaOH = molarity x volume

                        = 0.35 x 50.80/1000

                             = 0.01778 mole

Since the mole ratio according to the balance equation is 1:1, it means that the mole of the monoprotic acid would also be 0.01778.

Thus, molar mass of the monoprotic acid = mass/mole

                      = 1.6/0.01778

                         = 89.99 g/mol
