Hi everyone,
I don't really know if I am doing this question right:
2.954g of a dicarboxylic acid Q was dissolved into 500cm
3 of solution. A portion of 25.0cm
3 of the solution was then taken and required 27.3cm
3 of sodium hydroxide solution at 0.104moldm
3. Determine the formula of the dicarboxylic acid Q.
I used this balanced equation: C
2H
2O
4 + 2NaOH
NaC
2O
4 + 2H
3O
and calculated the Mr of C
2H
2O
4 to be 104.043. Dividing this answer by the Mr(C
2H
2O
4) gives me 1.156....
Now I am not sure if this is correct.
Could someone please verify that the balanced equation is correct and that the Mr I obtained is correct for this question.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance.
