Given the following information: 1.6 g of an unknown monoprotic acid (HA) required 50.80 mL of a 0.35 M NaOH solution to reach the equivalence point, calculate the molar mass (g/mol) of the acid. Enter the value ONLY. Do not include the units.

The molar mass of the monoprotic acid would be 89.99 g/mol

First, let us look at the equation of the reaction:

HA + NaOH ---> NaA + H2O

Mole ratio of acid to base = 1:1

Volume of NaOH required = 50.80 mL

Molarity of NaOH = 0.35 M

Mole of NaOH = molarity x volume

                        = 0.35 x 50.80/1000

                             = 0.01778 mole

Since the mole ratio according to the balance equation is 1:1, it means that the mole of the monoprotic acid would also be 0.01778.

Thus, molar mass of the monoprotic acid = mass/mole

                      = 1.6/0.01778

                         = 89.99 g/mol

89.9

Explanation:-

The balanced chemical equation is :

To calculate the moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

    .....(1)

Molarity of solution = 0.35 M

Volume of solution = 50.80 ml

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of NaOH reacts with = 1 mole of HCl

Thus 0.0178 moles of NaOH reacts with = moles of HCl

mass of HCl =

1.6g=  

Molar mass of HCl = 89.9

The molar mass (g/mol) of the acid is 89.9

i don't know people like to fight everywhere rip.

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
