4. An unknown organic acid contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Use the combustion analysis data below to determine the empirical formula for the unknown organic acid Mass of unknown organic acid combusted :403 mg

Mass of CO2 recovered: 845

Mass of H2O recovered :173 mg

250.0 mg of the same unknown organic acid is used in a titration, where 7.51 mL of 0.198 M NaOH were needed to reach the equivalence point. Determine the molar mass, and molecular formula, of the unknown organic acid (the acid has 1 acidic proton, and a 1:1 stoichiometry with NaOH)

Answer: 168.12 g/mole, C8H8O4
