A sample of oxalic acid (a diprotic acid of the formula H2C2O4) is dissolved in enough water to make 1.00 L of solution. A 100.0 mL sample of this solution is titrated with a solution of sodium hydroxide of concentration 0.750 M and requires 20.0 mL of sodium hydroxide to reach the end point. Calculate the mass of the original oxalic acid sample.

The mass of original oxalic acid sample is 6.75 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

where,

are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is

are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

To calculate the mass of solute, we use the equation used to calculate the molarity of solution:

Given mass of oxalic acid = ? g

Molar mass of oxalic acid = 90 g/mol

Molarity of solution = 0.075 M

Volume of solution = 1.00 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the mass of original oxalic acid sample is 6.75 grams

answer: i would say b.
