Calculate a reasonable amount (mass in g) of your unknown acid to use for a titration. You will want about 30 mL of titrant to get to the equivalence point. Assume that your base is about 0.05 M and that your unknown acid has a molar mass around 400 g/mol. (Report your answer using 2 significant figures).

Sagot :

Answer:

"0.60 g" is the appropriate solution.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Volume of base,

= 30 ml

Molarity of base,

= 0.05 m

Molar mass of acid,

= 400 g/mol

As we know,

⇒  [tex]Molarity=\frac{Number \ of \ moles \ of \ base}{Number \ of \ solution}[/tex]

On substituting the values, we get

⇒           [tex]0.05=\frac{Number \ of \ moles \ of \ base}{30\times 10^{-3}}[/tex]

⇒  [tex]Number \ of \ moles \ of \ base=0.05\times 30\times 10^{-3}[/tex]

⇒                                             [tex]=1.5\times 10^{-3}[/tex]  

hence,

⇒  [tex]Moles \ of \ acid=\frac{Mass \ of \ acid}{Molar \ mass \ of \ acid}[/tex]

On substituting the values, we get

⇒  [tex]1.5\times 10^{-3}=\frac{Mass \ of \ acid}{400}[/tex]

⇒  [tex]Mass \ of \ acid=1.5\times 10^{-3}\times 400[/tex]

⇒                         [tex]=0.60 \ g[/tex]
