A 0.2688 g sample of a monoprotic acid neutralized 16.4 mL of 0.08133 M KOH solution. Calculate the molar mass of the acid. (5 points)
A monoprotic acid are the ones that produce 1 hydrogen H+ , it has a form of HX, x is unknown, it only needs 1 ion of OH-
HX + KOH H2O + KX
It is a 1:1 reaction, 1 mole of KOH will neutralize 1 mole of HX
the moles of KOH :
moles = Molarity * Volume
moles = 0.08133 M * 0.0164 L = 0.00133381 moles of KOH
So we also have 0.00133381 moles of acid
Since we know the grams of acid we apply the next formula
molar mass = 0.2688 grams / 0.00133381 moles = 201.527 g/gmol
