Lab inspired question:
A student titrated 10.00mL of a solution of monoprotic lactic acid (CH3H5O3H)solution pKa= 3.86 with 0.2M sodium hydroxide.
It required 5.00mL of 0.2M NaOH to completely neutralize the lactic acid solution.
Calculate the concentration of the unknown lactic acid solution in mol/L.
The student attempted to titrate 10.00mL of a solution of oxalic acid, a diprotic acid, H2C2O4 with the same concentration as the lactic acid solution from the earlier question. What volume of 0.2M NaOH would be required to reach the equivalence point?
