I need to determine the molecular weight of a weak acid from titration data?
I nkow that I use the ml of NaOH added at the titration curve x M of NaOH=mmol of OH. Then I take mass of my sample / mmol of OH. But how do I find the mmol of NaOH?
0.220 g acid = molar mass
4x10-4mole acid
Also, how do I determine the Ka values for this titration? I know that I am to use the equation of Ka=(H3O)(A)/(HA) iknow :
Ka = [H3O+][A]
[HA]
For example I titrated an unknown soild that was mixed with 100 ml of distilled water with NaOH until it became basic. I made a titration curve on a graph. Is there a way to find out the the molecular weight of the weak acid?
Heres my data:
pH NaOH added(ml)
2.8 0
3.3 1
4 2
5.1 3
6 4
7 4
8 4
9*Eqv.pt 4*
10 4
11.2 4
11.6 5
11.8 6
12 7
12.1 8
12.2 9
12.2 10
