An analytical chemist weighs out 0.185 g of an unknown monoprotic acid into a 250 mL volumetric flask and dilutes to the mark with distilled water. She then titrates this solution with 0.2000 M NaOH solution. When the titration reaches the equivalence point, the chemist finds she has added 9.5 mL of NaOH solution. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown acid. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. g mol

A student is given 0.930 g of an unknown acid, which can be either oxalic acid, H2C2O4, or citric acid, H3C6H5O7. To determine which acid she has, she titrates the unknown acid with 0.615 M NaOH. The equivalence point is reached when 33.6 mL are added. What is the unknown acid?
Carminic acid, a naturally occurring red pigment extracted from the cochineal insect, contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. It was commonly used as a dye in the first half of the nineteenth century. It is 53.66% C and 4.09% H by mass. A titration required 18.02 mL of 0.0406 M NaOH to neutralize 0.3602 g carminic acid. Assuming that there is only one acidic hydrogen per molecule, what is the molecular formula of carminic acid?
Vitamin C has the formula C6H8O6. Besides being an acid, it is a reducing agent. One method for determining the amount of vitamin C in a sample is to titrate it with a solution of bromine, Br2, an oxidizing agent.
