Butanedioic acid is a solid at room temperature.

a.

Calculate the mass of butanedioic acid (H2C4H4O4\text{H}_2\text{C}_4\text{H}_4\text{O}_4H2​C4​H4​O4​) needed to make 250 cm3250\text{ cm}^3250 cm3 of a solution with concentration 0.0500 mol/dm30.0500\text{ mol/dm}^30.0500 mol/dm3.

Relative formula mass (MrM_rMr​): H2C4H4O4=118\text{H}_2\text{C}_4\text{H}_4\text{O}_4 = 118H2​C4​H4​O4​=118

b.

A student found that 25.0 cm325.0\text{ cm}^325.0 cm3 of a sodium hydroxide solution was neutralised by 18.50 cm318.50\text{ cm}^318.50 cm3 of the 0.0500 mol/dm30.0500\text{ mol/dm}^30.0500 mol/dm3 butanedioic acid solution.

The equation for the reaction is:

H2C4H4O4+2NaOH→Na2C4H4O4+2H2O\text{H}_2\text{C}_4\text{H}_4\text{O}_4 + 2 \text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{Na}_2\text{C}_4\text{H}_4\text{O}_4 + 2\text{H}_2\text{O}H2​C4​H4​O4​+2NaOH→Na2​C4​H4​O4​+2H2​O

Calculate the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution in mol/dm3\text{mol/dm}^3mol/dm3.
