![### Determining the Molar Mass of an Unknown Acid through Titration
An analytical chemist weighs out **0.074 g** of an unknown monoprotic acid into a **250 mL** volumetric flask and dilutes it to the mark with distilled water. She then titrates this solution with **0.0600 M NaOH** solution. When the titration reaches the equivalence point, the chemist finds she has added **13.1 mL** of NaOH solution.
**Objective:** Calculate the molar mass of the unknown acid. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
#### Calculation Process:
1. **Determine moles of NaOH added:**
- Volume of NaOH solution used: 13.1 mL
- Molarity of NaOH solution: 0.0600 M
- Convert volume to liters: 13.1 mL = 0.0131 L
- Moles of NaOH \( = \text{Molarity} \times \text{Volume} \)
\( \text{Moles of NaOH} = 0.0600 \text{M} \times 0.0131 \text{L} = 0.000786 \text{ moles} \)
2. **Relate moles of NaOH to moles of the unknown acid:**
Since the acid is monoprotic (one mole of acid reacts with one mole of NaOH),
\( \text{Moles of unknown acid} = 0.000786 \text{ moles} \)
3. **Calculate molar mass:**
- Mass of unknown acid: 0.074 g
- Moles of unknown acid: 0.000786 moles
- Molar mass \( = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Moles}} \)
\( \text{Molar mass} = \frac{0.074 \text{ g}}{0.000786 \text{ moles}} = 94.14 \text{ g/mol} \)
Round to 2 significant digits: 94 g/mol
