Oxalic acid, $\ce{H2C2O4}$, is a useful chemical for rust removal. A student prepared five oxalic acid samples by dissolving 0.9000 grams of oxalic acid in 100.00 mL of water and pipetting 10.00 mL of this solution into five separate beakers. Each of the samples was diluted with deionized water, and an appropriate indicator was added as an indicator. The samples were then titrated with standard 0.05000 M sodium hydroxide, $\ce{NaOH}$, until the appearance of a permanent color change of the indicator indicated the endpoint of the titration. The following volumes were obtained. Molar mass of $\ce{H2C2O4}$ = 90.04 g mol^-1. The student calculated a concentration of approximately 0.20 M in each case. This is not the correct value. What is the most likely mistake that the student made?
A.
The student used the total sample volume of the acid instead of the pipetted sample volume.
B.
The student did not use the correct mole ratio in the calculation.
C.
The student did not use the correct indicator.
D.
The student contaminated the samples during preparation.
