Question

Molar mass homework... thanks! 

**Problem Statement:**

A 0.485 g sample of a monoprotic acid is dissolved in water and titrated with 0.270 M KOH. What is the molar mass of the acid if 13.0 mL of the KOH solution is required to neutralize the sample?

**Calculation Section:**

Molar mass: [______] g/mol

**Explanation:**

In this problem, you are given a 0.485 g sample of a monoprotic (one H+ ion) acid. You need to determine the molar mass of the acid based on titration data with a potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution. The KOH solution has a concentration of 0.270 M, and 13.0 mL of it is required to neutralize the acid sample.

- Use stoichiometry and the concept of molarity to find the moles of KOH used.
- Determine the moles of acid, knowing that it's monoprotic and fully reacts with KOH.
- Calculate the molar mass using the mass of the acid sample and the moles of acid.

This kind of problem is common in acid-base titration experiments to find unknown molar mass or concentration values.
