Suppose a group of students put 2.92 grams of an unknown solid acid into a 250-mL volumetric flask and filled it up to the mark with deionized water. After this they pipetted out 15.75 mL of a 1.78 M NaOH(aq) solution into another 250-mL volumetric flask and filled it up to the mark with deionized water. The students were given a pH meter that was already calibrated by their teaching assistant (T.A.) and they got the following result shown in the table below. Calculate the Molarity of the unknown solid acid. Hint: You can approximate the endpoint of the titration by taking the average volume between two consecutive titrant volume reading and you can assume that it is a 1:1 stoichiometry ratio between the acid and OH-(aq).
