You have a 2.0 mL sample of acetic acid (molar mass 60.05 g/mol) of unknown concentration. You titrate it to its endpoint with 20.0 mL NaOH (0.1 M). What mass of acetic acid was dissolved in the 2.0 mL of solution used?

The mass of acetic acid used is 0.12 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 acetic acid = ? g

Molar mass of acetic acid = 60.05 g/mol

Molarity of solution = 1 M

Volume of the solution = 2.0 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the mass of acetic acid used is 0.12 grams

1.43 x 10^-11 j the guy commented the awnser just making sure u see it .

since electrons are negative the answer is neagtaive
