Analysis of Results:
Part 1)
a) Mass of oxalic acid dihydrate
H2C2O4 * 2H2O = 126g/mol
b) Number of mol of oxalic acid measured
1 mol
0.58g x 126g =4.6x10-3 mol
c) Concentration of oxalic dihydrate
4.6x10−3
Conc = .1L = 4.6x10-2
Part 2)
a) Number of mol of oxalic acid
4.6x10-2M x 0.025L = 1.2x10-3 mol
b) Diprotic so 2x the number of mol of acid.
1.2x10-3mol x 2 = 2.4x10-3 mol NaOH
c) Average mL of NaOH used = 23.70mL
2,4x10−3 mol of N aOH
Conc = 0.02370L = 0.10M NaOH
Part 3)
a) mol of NaOH used for each titration.
Titration #1: 0.10M NaOH x 0.03220L = 3.22x10-3 =3.2x10-3
Titration #2: 0.10M NaOH x 0.03195L = 3.195x10-3 = 3.2x10-3
b) mol of acid = mol of base because the acid is monoprotic.
Titration #1: 3.2x10-3 mol of unknown acid
Titration #2: 3.2x10-3 mol of unknown acid
c)molar mass
Because titration of #1 and #2 is the same, and the same amount of acid was used.
0.30g
Molar mass = 3.2x10−3 = 94g/mol
Part 4)
a) Measured pH for both trial is 2.33
