A titration is carried out to determine the molecular weight of oxalic acid. In this experiment, 0.617g of oxalic acid was dissolved in water and 18.3 mL of 0.75 M NaOH were used to reach the equivalence point of the titration. However, each mol of oxalic acid reacts with 2 mols of NaOH. A.What is the molecular weight of oxalic acid? B. What is the concentration of oxalic acid in the original solution if the total volume was 100mL
