Given the following information: 1.6 g of an unknown monoprotic acid (HA) required 50.80 mL of a 0.35 M NaOH solution to reach the equivalence point, calculate the molar mass (g/mol) of the acid.  The molar mass is mass of acid/moles of acid. The mass of the acid is given in the problem. Because you are told the acid is monoprotic, the stoichiometric relationship between the acid and the base is known to be 1:1. Find the moles of base from the volume and concentration and use it to find the moles of acid. Once you have moles of acid, you can calculate the molar mass.

Question

Given the following information: 1.6 g of an unknown monoprotic acid (HA) required 50.80 mL of a 0.35 M NaOH solution to reach the equivalence point, calculate the molar mass (g/mol) of the acid. 

The molar mass is mass of acid/moles of acid. The mass of the acid is given in the problem. Because you are told the acid is monoprotic, the stoichiometric relationship between the acid and the base is known to be 1:1. Find the moles of base from the volume and concentration and use it to find the moles of acid. Once you have moles of acid, you can calculate the molar mass.
