what is the concentration of acetic acid if three 50ml samples of actic acid were neutralized with 19.96ml, and 19.97 ml of 0.121M NaOH
Given volume of acetic acid=50 mL
Concentration of NaOH=0.1231 M and volume to nuetralize acetic acid=average of all volumes=(19.96+19.97)/2
=19.965 mL
The balanced equation between acetic acid and NaOH is
CH3COOH + NaOH = CH3COONa+ H2O
Now find the moles of NaOH=molarityx volume=(0.121 mol/L)x0.019965 L=2.415x10-3 mol.
From the equation moles of NaOH=moles of acetic acid=2.415x10-3 mol
The concentration of acetic acid=moles/volume=2.415x10-3 mol/0.050 L=0.0483 M
[CH3COOH]=0.0483 M.
