Problem- A qualitative analysis of an unknown acid found only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. A follow-up quantitative analysis of a 10. 46 mg sample that was burned in excess oxygen yielded 22.17 mg CO2 and 3.400 mg H2O. Mass spectrometry determined the molecular mass to be 166 g/mol. Finally, a 0.1680 g sample was titrated to the end point with 16.18 mL of 0.1250 M NaOH. What is the molecular formula for the acid? Is the acid mono-, di-, or triprotic?
