Titration, how to find moles of an unknown acid?

Question

I have the mL of the NaOH released from the burette, the molarity of it, and the grams of the solid substance. Is there a formula for how I find the moles of the unknown acid given these? What would I convert everything to?

Answer 1

Assuming the volume of the NaOH released from the burette is the volume needed to reach the equivalence point for the unknown, i.e. the moles of NaOH = moles of unknown, then what you do is convert mls of NaOH to moles of NaOH. mls NaOH x 1 L / 1000 mls x molarity of NaOH = moles NaOH = moles of unknown
