Question
Assume the standardized NaOH used for the titration of benzoic acid had a concentration of 0.2301 M. Further assume you did not write down this exact concentration immediately but later tried to from memory and incorrectly wrote down 0.2 M. How might this affect your results? None of the answers shown are correct. This assumption would result in a larger calculated molecular weight for benzoic acid. This would have no effect on the results. This assumption would increase the moles of acid calculated. This assumption would result in a smaller calculated molecular weight for benzoic acid.Explanation / Answer
None of the answer shown are correct
Molarity is important
If molarity is not correct no of mol calculation of NaOH consumed is incorrect
If no of mols of NaOH is incorrect, calculating of mols of Benzoic acid is incorrect and concentration of Benzoic acid incorrect.
