A sample of a monoprotic acid (HA) weighing 0.384 g is dissolved in water and the solution is titrated with aqueous NaOH. If 30.0 mL of 0.100 M NaOH is required to reach the equivalence point, what is the molar mass of HA?

(a) 211 g/mol
(b) 128 g/mol
(c) 81.0 g/mol
(d) 37.0 g/mol
(e) 20.3 g/mol

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

Moles of NaOH = n

Volume of NaOH solution = 30.0 mL =0.030 L ( 1mL =0.001 L)

Molarity of the NaOH solution = 0.100 M

According to reaction , 1 mol of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of HA, then, 0.00300 moles of NaOH will react with :

of HA

Moles of HA = 0.00300 mol

Mass of HA = 0.384 g

Molar mass of HA = M

Mass of 0.00300 moles of HA = 0.384 g

128 g/mol is the molar mass of HA.

the population of unionid mussels in the hudson river decreased after zebra mussels were introduced. zebra mussels, a nonnative species, competed with the unionid mussels for food. the zebra mussels were able to outcompete the unionid mussels, allowing the zebra mussel population to increase dramatically over six years. the unionid mussel population decreased due to a lack of food.

hope this :
