H2C4H4O4 + NaOH how do you balance this titration?
3 answers
H2C4H4O4 + 6 NaOH = 4 CO + 6 H2O + 6 Na
I suppose this is succinic acid.
It depends upon how many of the two replaceable hydrogens you are titrating. If both, then it is
H2C4H4O4 + 2NaOH ==> Na2C4H4O4 + 2H2O
If just one, then the product is NaHC4H4O4; however, the two pKa constants are so close together I don't think that you could titrate each separately.

um..sorry just take the below comment from Dr.Bob.
