Tartaric acid,H2C4H4O6, has two acidic hydrogens. The acid is often present in wines and precipitates from solution as the wine ages. A solution containing an unknown concentration of the acid is titrated with NaOH. It requires 22.65mL of 0.3000M NaOH solution to titrate both acidic protons in 55.00mL of the tartaric acid solution.
1. Write a balanced net ionic equation for the neutralization reaction.
2. Calculate the molarity of the tartaric acid solution.
