Answer #1

Balanced chemical equation is:

NaOH + C2H4O2 ---> NaC2H3O2 + H2O

lets calculate the mol of NaOH

volume , V = 21.6 mL

= 2.16*10^-2 L

use:

number of mol,

n = Molarity * Volume

= 1.054*2.16*10^-2

= 2.277*10^-2 mol

According to balanced equation

mol of C2H4O2 reacted = (1/1)* moles of NaOH

= (1/1)*2.277*10^-2

= 2.277*10^-2 mol

This is number of moles of C2H4O2

Molar mass of C2H4O2,

MM = 2*MM(C) + 4*MM(H) + 2*MM(O)

= 2*12.01 + 4*1.008 + 2*16.0

= 60.052 g/mol

use:

mass of C2H4O2,

m = number of mol * molar mass

= 2.277*10^-2 mol * 60.05 g/mol

= 1.367 g

Answer: 1.37 g
