You know the mass of the sample of unknown acid and the volume and concentration of NaOH(aq). From the equation given, you also know that the acid and the base react in a 1:1 ratio.

Approach
Step 1
Write the balanced equation for the reaction. Note from the coefficients that the acid and base react in equal molar proportions.
Step 2
Determine the amount (mol) of base reacting by multiplying the volume (L) of the base by the molarity (mol/L) of the base.
Step 3
Because one mole of acid reacts per mole of base, the amount (mol) acid present equals the amount (mol) base used in the titration.
Step 4
Divide the mass (g) of acid used by the amount (mol) present to obtain the molar mass (g/mol).
