I want to thank your team (Jeff) for finding a new writer when you were unable to reach my existing writer to revise my paper. I appreciate your professionalism and efforts. Thanks
The molar mass of the citric acid is ##”192 g/mol”##.
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction that takes place between sodium hydroxide, ##NaOH##, and citric acid, ##C_6H_8O_7##, looks like this
##C_6H_8O_(7(aq)) + color(red)(3)NaOH_((aq)) -> Na_3C_6H_5O_(7(aq)) + 3H_2O_((l))##
Notice the ##1:color(red)(3)## that exists between citric acid and sodium hydroxide; what this tells you is that, for every mole of citric acid, you need 3 times more moles of sodium hydroxide for the reaction to take place.
Since you know the and the volume of the ##NaOH## you’ve used, you can calculate how many moles of ##NaOH## reacted
##C = n/V => n = C * V##
##n_(NaOH) = “0.223 M” * 36.10 * 10^(-3)”L” = “0.00805 moles”##
Now use the aforementioned mole ratio to see how many moles of citric acid were present in 0.515 g
##0.00805cancel(“moles NaOH”) * “1 mole citric acid”/(3cancel(“moles NaOH”)) = “0.00268 moles citric acid”##
Now simply divide the mass of citric acid given by the number of moles it contained to get the compound’s molar mass
##M_M = m/n = “0.515 g”/(“0.00268 moles”) = “192.16 g/mol”##
Rounded to three , the number of sig figs given for 0.515 g, the answer will be
##M_M = color(green)(“192 g/mol”)##
SIDE NOTE The actual molar mass of citric acid is 192.12 g/mol, so your result is in agreement with the known value.
