Answer

$94.5$ g/mol

Work Step by Step

A monoprotic acid suggests that it only releases 1 proton (1 $H+$) in its dissociation process in water. Without knowing its identity, we can write the acid's chemical formula as HPr. When let react with NaOH, the titration process can be written as: $NaOH + HPr -> NaPr + H_{2}O$ As we can see, because NaOH also only releases 1 hydroxide ion (1 $OH-$), the react ratio is $NaOH:HPr=1:1$ $n_{NaOH}=C*V=0.0500M*0.02210l=1.11*10^{-3}(mol)=n_{HPr}$ $M_{HPr}=m_{HPr}/n_{HPr}=0.1044g/1.11*10^{-3}mol=94.5(g/mol)$
