An unknown amount of acid can often be determined byadding an excess of base and then “back-titrating” the excess. A 0.3471-g sample of a mixture of oxalic acid, which has two ion-izable protons, and benzoic acid, which has one, is treated with100.0 mL of 0.1000 M NaOH. The excess NaOH is titrated with20.00 mL of 0.2000 M HCl. Find the mass % of benzoic acid.
