1g of oxide A reacted with water to form 1.49g of acid B. The oxide reacted completely. The formed acid is a solid substance. For the neutralization of 0.149g of acid B, 36.34ml of NaOH (c=0.1M) were spent. Write the formulas of the acid B and oxide A.
Using the data from the titration, the equivalent mass of the acid is 41g/mol. If it is a diprotic acid, M=82g/mol. With a little guessing, I got H
2PHO
3, which is correct.
I didn't use the masses of the oxide and acid, I just solved this on guessing. How to solve this by using the masses data (not by guessing)?
xA + yH
2O
B
1g 0.49g 1.49g
What to do now?
