Please read the question carefully and give me right solution according to the question. A river was contaminated by the release of waste material from a pharmaceutical factory. The contaminant was the monoprotic acid, benzoic acid, HC7H5O2. A 0.3518 g sample of contaminated water was collected and titrated with a 0.1546 M NaOH solution. A total of 10.59 mL of the standard NaOH solution was needed for complete neutralization. What mass percent of HC7H5O2 was present in the contaminated water sample? (Molar mass HC7H5O2 = 122.12 g mol-1)
