The relative molecular mass of acid A : 50 g/mol

Further explanation

Given

40.0 cm³(40 ml) of 0.2M sodium hydroxide

0.2g  of a dibasic acid

Required

the relative molecular mass of acid A

Solution

Titration formula

M₁V₁n₁=M₂V₂n₂

n=acid/base valence(number of H⁺/OH⁻)

NaOH ⇒ n = 1

Dibasic acid =  diprotic acid (such as H₂SO₄)⇒ n = 2

mol = M x V

Input the value in the formula :(1 = NaOH, 2=dibasic acid)

0.2 x 40 x 1 = M₂ x V₂ x 2

M₂ x V₂ = 4 mlmol = 4.10⁻³ mol ⇒ mol of Acid A

The relative molecular mass of acid A (M) :

[tex]\tt M_A=\dfrac{mass }{mol}=\dfrac{0.2~g}{4.10^{-3}}=50~g/mol[/tex]
