A chemist weighs out 0.138 grams of an unknown diprotic acid into a 222 volumetric flask and makes a 222 ml solution of it with distilled water. They titrate this solution with 0.1800 M Magnesium hydroxide. When the titration reached the equivalence point, the chemist found that they had added 22.8 mL of magnesium hydroxide. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown acid
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
