Question 31 IGCSE_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2022 • CHEMISTRY • objective

A 0.500 g mixture of acetic acid (\(\mathrm{CH_3COOH}\), molar mass \(60.05\ \mathrm{g\ mol^{-1}}\)) and propionic acid (\(\mathrm{CH_3CH_2COOH}\), molar mass \(74.08\ \mathrm{g\ mol^{-1}}\)) is treated with \(50.0\ \mathrm{mL}\) of \(0.200\ \mathrm{M}\) NaOH. The excess NaOH is back‑titrated with \(0.100\ \mathrm{M}\) HCl, requiring \(30.0\ \mathrm{mL}\) to reach the endpoint. Assuming each acid reacts with NaOH in a 1:1 mole ratio, calculate the mass of acetic acid and the mass of propionic acid present in the original mixture.

Answer Options

A. Acetic acid ≈ 0.200 g; propionic acid ≈ 0.300 g
B. Acetic acid ≈ 0.120 g; propionic acid ≈ 0.380 g
Correct Answer C. Acetic acid ≈ 0.079 g; propionic acid ≈ 0.421 g
D. Acetic acid ≈ 0.050 g; propionic acid ≈ 0.450 g
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
Acetic acid ≈ 0.079 g; propionic acid ≈ 0.421 g
