Question

An organic acid called acerbic acid is being tested as a new additive for sour candies. A sample of 100.0 mL of a solution containing acerbic acid (M = 215.4 g/mol) was titrated with a 0.250 mol/L solution of LiOH.

If the volume of LiOH required to reach the equivalence point was 40.0 mL, what is the concentration of acid in the sample in % volume? The density of acerbic acid is 0.925 g/mL.

Express your answer to 3 significant figures.

[acerbic acid] = Answer% (v/v)
