seppy93 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 10.00 mL aliquot of a triprotic acid is reacted with 27.42 mL 0.168M KOH solution. Determine the molar mass of the acid. I'm not sure how can I find the mass of the acid, because I don't see anything mass-related to the acid. And also, does the "aliquot" affect anything?

John Cuthber Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Well, you are right. There is not enough information to answer the question. Are you sure you have copied it correctly? If you have then someone else has made a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Function Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Small question in order to help you: what's the meaning of "0.168M"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Function Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Given: Vacid = 0,01 L VKOH = 0,02742 L cKOH = 0,168 M = 0,168 moles/L Asked: Macid = [math]\frac{m_{acid}}{n_{acid}}[/math] Conclusion: too few information given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniton Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I don't think there is no enough info. If the acid reacts with the base completely then there moles must be equal. Which is .068*27.42== the mole of the acid ,then you can proceed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are sure there's enough information, why not just answer the question? That would prove the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniton Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) John Cuthber are you challenging me. I was only pointing out my idea. you could agree or disagree on the point. So, what do you think? Edited October 19, 2013 by daniton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniton Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Sorry my bad I was expecting the formula of the triprotic acid Edited October 19, 2013 by daniton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wentworth Miller Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 can anyone tell any information about this formula? 3 H2SO4 + Ca3(PO4)2 + 6 H2O ↔ 2 H3PO4 + 3 CaSO4.2H2O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
