Titration of 0.01500 grams of diprotic acid required 36.22ml of 0.0120 M NaOH to reach the endpoint. What is the mass of a mole of the acid?
From law of milli equivalence N1V1 = N2V2
(Weight/Equivalent weight)1000 = N2V2 ------- (1)
N2 = Normality of NaOH = 0.0120N (because Normality and molarity is same for NaOH)
V2 = volume of NaOH = 36.22ml
weight of acid = 0.015grams
substitute in eq (1) (0.015/EW)1000 = 0.012 * 36.22
EW = 34.5113
Equivalent weight = molecular weight / No of replaceable H+
Molecular weight = 34.5113 * 2 (since it is diprotic acid No of replaceable H+ are 2)
Molecular weight = 69.02 = weight of one mole of compound
mass of a mole of the acid = 69.02grams
