Here's how to calculate the molar mass of H₂X:
1. Calculate the moles of NaOH used:
- Convert the volume of NaOH solution from cm³ to dm³: 25 cm³ = 0.025 dm³
- Moles of NaOH = (concentration of NaOH)
(volume of NaOH) = (3.90 g/dm³)
(0.025 dm³) = 0.0975 g
- Convert mass of NaOH to moles: moles of NaOH = (0.0975 g) / (40.00 g/mol) = 0.00244 mol
2. Determine the moles of H₂X neutralized:
- From the balanced chemical equation, 1 mole of H₂X reacts with 2 moles of NaOH. Therefore, moles of H₂X = (0.00244 mol NaOH) / 2 = 0.00122 mol
3. Calculate the molar mass of H₂X:
- Convert the volume of H₂X solution from cm³ to dm³: 24.5 cm³ = 0.0245 dm³
- Molar mass of H₂X = (mass of H₂X) / (moles of H₂X) = (4.90 g) / (0.00122 mol) = 4016 g/mol
Therefore, the molar mass of H₂X is approximately 4016 g/mol.
