1.2g of a salt with their emperical formula KxHy(C2O4)z was dissolved in 50mL of water and its 10mL part reqd 11mL of 0.1M HCl solution to reach equivalene point.IN a separate titration 15mL of stock solution reqd 20mL 0.2475M KOH to reach equivalence point.Determine emperical formula of salt

meq. of acid used=11*0.1
meq of salt used as base=11*0.1=((1.2/M)/50)*10*x (n-factor here is x)
meq of base used = 20*0.2475=((1.2/M)/50)*15*y
dividing one by other gives y/x≈3
also x+y=2z (neutral compound)
z=2x
x:y:z=1:3:2
so the salt is KH3(C2O4)2
