0.2143 grams of an unknown organic acid was dissolved in about 50 mL of water in a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask and titrated against 0.1000 M NAOH solution using bromothymol blue indicator. 30.60 mL of titrant was used to achieve end point. The melting point range of the unknown is 98-102 °C. Ignition test reveals the compound to be aliphatic. Cerric ammonium nitrate test is also positive. Which of the following is the unknown? Hint: Consult Shriner's table.

Question
0.2143 grams of an unknown organic acid was dissolved in about 50 mL of water in a
250 mL Erlenmeyer flask and titrated against 0.1000 M NAOH solution using
bromothymol blue indicator. 30.60 mL of titrant was used to achieve end point. The
melting point range of the unknown is 98-102 °C. Ignition test reveals the
compound to be aliphatic. Cerric ammonium nitrate test is also positive. Which of
the following is the unknown?
Hint: Consult Shriner's table.
citric acid monohydrate
[3-carboxy-3-hydroxypenatnedioic acid monohydrate]
Phenoxyethanoic acid
Glutaric acid
[pentanedioic acid]
OOxalic acid dihydrate
[ethanedioic acid dihaydrate]
O citric acid (anhydrous)
[3-carboxy-3-hydroxypenatnedioic acid]
