Explanation / Answer

Table 16.2 :

A. molarity of NaOH

moles H2C2O4.2H2O = mass H2C2O4.2H2O/molar mass H2C2O4.2H2O

molar mass H2C2O4.2H2O = 126.07 g/mol

1 moles NaOH reacted with 1 mole of H2C2O4.2H2O

molarity NaOH = moles NaOH/volume NaOH

                                               Run 1              Run 2                 run 3       

mass H2C2O4.2H2O            0.1734             0.2542                0.2203

mmol H2C2O4.2H2O            1.375               2.016                  1.750

mmol OH- reacted                 2.750               4.032                  3.500

Volume NaOH (ml)                 22.9                22.65                  33.94

molarity NaOH (M)                0.120               0.180                   0.103

average molarity NaOH = 0.134 M

---

B. molecular weight of unknown acid

average molarity NaOH = 0.134 M

moles NaOH = molarity NaOH x volume NaOH

moles acid = moles NaOH/2

molecular weight acid = mass acid/moles acid

                                               Run 1              Run 2                 run 3       

mass of unknown acid           0.1838             0.1942              0.1829

Volume NaOH (ml)                17.79               18.70                 17.50

mmoles NaOH                       2.384               2.506                 2.345

mmole unknown acid             1.192               1.253                1.1725

molecular weight acid            154.2               155.0                 156.0

average molecular weight of acid = 155.07 g/mol
