An unknown solid acid is either citric acid or tartaric acid. To determine which acid you have, you titrate a sample of the solid with NaOH. The appropriate reactions are as follows:Citric acid:H3C6H5O79(aq) + 3NaOH (aq) >>>>>>> 3H2O (l) + Na2C6H5O7 (aq)Tataric Acid:H2C4H4O6 (aq) + 2NaOH (aq) >>>>>>>> 2H2O (l) + Na2C4H4O6 (aq)A 0.956 g sample requires 29.1 ml of 0.513 M NaOH for titration to the equivalence point. What is the unknown acid?

The unknown acid is citric acid.

Explanation:

Based on the reactions:

Citric acid: H3C6H5O7(aq) + 3NaOH (aq) → 3H2O (l) + Na2C6H5O7 (aq)

Tartaric acid: H2C4H4O6 (aq) + 2NaOH (aq) → 2H2O (l) + Na2C4H4O6 (aq)

0.956g of sample if tartaric acid requires:

0.956g × (1mol / 150,087 g) = 0.006370 moles of tartaric acid. As 1 mole reacts with 2 moles of NaOH:

0.006370 moles of tartaric acid × (2 mol NaOH / 1 moles tartaric acid) = 0.0127 moles of NaOH. As the concentration of the NaOH is 0.513M:

0.0127 moles of NaOH × (1L / 0.513mol) = 0.0248L ≡ 24.8mL

Now, 0.956g of citric acid requires:

0.956g × (1mol / 192,124g) = 0.004976 moles of citric acid. As 1 mole reacts with 3 moles of NaOH:

0.004976 moles of citric acid × (3 mol NaOH / 1 moles tartaric acid) = 0.0149 moles of NaOH. As the concentration of the NaOH is 0.513M:

0.0149 moles of NaOH × (1L / 0.513mol) = 0.0291L ≡ 29.1mL

As the titration requires 29.1mL of the base, the unknown acid is citric acid.

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction:

Citric acid: H3C6H5O7(aq) + 3NaOH (aq) ---> 3H2O (l) + Na2C6H5O7 (aq)

Tataric Acid: H2C4H4O6 (aq) + 2NaOH (aq) ---> 2H2O (l) + Na2C4H4O6 (aq)

Given:

Mass of solid acid = 0.956 g

Volume of base, vb = 29.1 ml

Concentration of base, cb = 0.513 M

Number of moles of NaOH = concentration × volume

= 0.513 × 29.1 × 10^-3

= 0.0149 moles

From equation 1,

By stoichiometry, 1 mole of citric acid will react with 3 moles of NaOH. Therefore, number of moles of citric acid = 0.0149/3

= 0.00498 moles

Molar mass of citric acid, H3C6H5O79 = (8 × 1) + (6 × 12) + (79 × 16)

= 192 g/mol

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

= 192 × 0.00498

= 0.956 g

Therefore the solid acid is citric acid.

explanation:

let the different atoms be x and y. each with four protons and same mass will be represented as follows.

mass number is number of protons + number of neutrons.

            and  

since, it is given that one has a negative charge while the other is neutral. therefore, there will be increase in number of protons and the atom will be represented as follows.

according to periodic table, mass number of beryllium is 9 and it has atomic number 4 so, the atoms will be and .  

the protons and neutrons will be located inside the nucleus whereas the electrons will be revolving around the nucleus.  

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
