Question

Fumaric acid is  quite common in the plant world and is added to many foods due to its acidity and fruity flavor.  It has a molar mass of 116.07 g/mol and a formula of C4H4O4.

A solution of sodium hydroxide is used to determine the molarity of a fumaric acid acid solution before it is used to prepare some sour gummi worms.

 

 

C4H4O4(aq)   + 2NaOH(aq) --> Na2C4H2O4(aq) +2 H2O(l)

 

Calculate the Molarity of the fumaric acid if 32.08 mL of 0.09973 M NaOH was used to neutralized 75.00 mL of fumaric acid solution.  Assume the fumaric acid is acting as a strong electrolyte acid in this reaction. (It is a weak acid, but a very strong weak electrolyte)
