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).   VNaOH (mL) pH VNaOH (mL) pH 0 1.97 15 3.43 1 2.05 16 3.57 2 2.12 17 3.65 3 2.20 18 3.77 4 2.29 19 3.88 5 2.38 20 4.01 6 2.47 21 4.23 7 2.58 22 4.65 8 2.69 23 5.22 9 2.78 24 8.11 10 2.89 25 10.65 11 3.00 26 10.92 12 3.11 27 11.21 13 3.22 28 11.43 14 3.31 29 11.56 Multiple choices:   1.62 x 10-2   2.61 x 10-2   9.73 x 10-1   9.34 x 10-1   2.09 x 10-2   9.51 x 10-1   1.41 x 10-2   1.86 x 10-2   1.27 x 10-2   1.05 x 10-2   2.44 x 10-2   9.91 x 10-1   2.28 x 10-2   9.14 x 10-1

Question

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).
