A student is given 0.733 g of an unknown acid, which can be either oxalic acid, H2C2O4, or citric acid, H3C6H5O7. To determine which acid she has, she titrates the unknown acid with 0.440 M NaOH. The equivalence point is reached when 37.0 mL are added. Answer the following questions to determine the identity of the unknown acid. How many moles of H+ acid are available to react if the acid is H2C2O4?(0.0163 mol NaOH)
1. How many moles of NaOH are consumed?
Moles of NaOH = ____ mol
2. How many moles of H+ acid are available to react if the acid is H2C2O4?
0.0403 mol NaOH
Moles of H+ from H2C2O4 = ___ mol
3. How many moles of H+ are available to react if the acid is H3C6H5O7?
0.0573 mol H+ from H2C2O4
Moles of H+ from H3C6H5O7 = ___ mol
