Benzoic acid is a common food preservative, and its molecular formula is HC 7 H 5 O

Question:

Benzoic acid is a common food preservative, and its molecular formula is HC7H5O2. If 22.55 mL of 0.293 M NaOH neutralizes a 0.806-g sample of benzoic acid, what is the molar mass of the acid? The balanced equation for the reaction is 

HC7H5O2(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaC7H5O2(aq) + H2O(l)
