A 0.380 g sample of an unknown monoprotic acid is titrated with 0.300 M KOH to the equivalence point. It requires 20.1 mL of KOH to reach this point. Elemental analysis is also performed, showing that the acid contains 1.6% H, 22.2% N, and 76.2% O. Use this information to determine the molecular formula and the molar mass of the unknown acid.

Explanation:

20.1 mL of .3 M KOH reacts with .38 g of sample monoprotic acid

20.1 mL of .3 M KOH = .021 x .3 mole of KOH

= .0063 mole of KOH

.0063 mole of KOH will react with .0063 mole of monoprotic acid

.0063 mole of monoprotic acid = .38 g

1 mole of monoprotic acid = 60.3 or 60 g

molecular weight of monoprotic acid = 60

Acid contains 1.6 % H , 22.2 % N , 76.2 % O

Ratio of weight of H , N , O in sample

= 1.6 : 22.2 : 76.2

Ratio of moles of H , N , O

1.6 / 1 : 22.2 / 14 : 76.2 / 16

1.6 : 1.585 : 4.76

= 1.6 / 1.585 : 1 : 4.76 / 1.585

= 1 : 1 : 3

Empirical formula

= HNO₃

Mol formula = ( let )

Mol weight = n ( 1 + 14 + 3 x 16 )

= 63n  .

Mol weight calculated above = 60

63n = 60

n = 1 ( approx )

Mol formula = HNO₃

Mol mass =   63 .

a polar bond is formed when electrons are shared unevenly between atoms

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight   the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the orbital is therefore filled right after orbitals and before orbitals.  

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the and should be highlighted as well.
