A chemistry student weighs out 0.112 g of formic acid (HCHO2) into a 250. mL volumetric flask and dilutes to the mark with distilled water. He plans to titrate the acid with 0.0800M NaOH solution.

Calculate the volume of NaOH solution the student will need to add to reach the equivalence point. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between formic acid (HCHO2) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is:

HCHO2 + NaOH -> NaCHO2 + H2O
