Help with chemistry questions!!

the teacher carried out the experiment and obtained the following results:
Mass of NaOH used to make 250cm3 of solution = 3.80g
Volume of Ethan pic acid=25cm3
Mean titre of NaOH= 11.9cm3
CH3COOH+ NaOH—> CH3NOONa + H2O
Calculate the conc of the ethanoic acid in g dm3
Also does anyone know anywhere I could find the the answers to the edexcel assessment material 2021 ( the public released thingy 😂)
Thank you so much <3
What have you tried so far?

What have you tried so far?

I got 25g dm3??

n NaOH= 0.095
N in 25cm= 0.0095
Ethaboic acid data:
n: 0.095
V= 0.025
C= 0.095/0.025= 0.38
This is where I’m a bit stuck: I’ve done
Because there are 3.80g of NaOH dissolved in 250cm of solution 250/ 3.80= 65.79
65.79 X 0.38= 25g dm-3

Which just doesn’t make sense!!

moles NaOH = 3.8/40=0.095 mols in 250ml of solution. (Mr NaOH=40)
conc of NaOH = n/vol = 0.095/.25 = 0.38 mol/dm3
moles NaOH used in titration = 0.38 x 11.9/1000 = 4.5 x 10-3 this also same as moles of acid
conc of acid = n/v = 4.522 x10-3/0.025 = 0.18 mol dm3
to change units of conc into g/dm3 multiply by Mr of ethanoic acid
check my calcs

look here for more ideas!

Omg thank you so much!!! I really appreciate this
