The molecular mass of an organic acid was determind by the study of its barium salt. `4.290 g` of salt was converted to free acid by the reaction with `21.64 mL` of water of hydration per `Ba^(2+)` ion and the acid is monobasic. What is molecular weight of anhydrous acidgt |
Answer» mEq of Braium salt = mEq of acid `(4.290)/(Mw..2) xx 1000 = 21.64 xx 0.477 xx 2` Molecular weight of salf = 415.60 Molecular weight of anion `= (("Mw of salt" - Mw of Ba^(2+) - Mw of 2 H_(2) O))/(2)` `= (415.60 - 137 - 36)/(2) = 121.16` `:.` Molecular weight of acid `= 121.6 + 1 = 122.6` |
