b) The student then does the titration correctly.

He finds that 16.70 cm3 of the dilute sulfuric acid neutralises 25.0 cm3 of sodium hydroxide solution of concentration 0.200 mol/dm3

The equation for the reaction is

2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O

ii) Calculate the amount, in moles, of sulfuric acid

Respuesta :

Explanation:

mole of acid/mole of base=(concentration of acid×volume of acid)/(concentration of base×volume of base)

Na/Nb=CaVa/CbVb

1/2=(Ca×16.7)/(0.2×25)

0.2×25=2×Ca×16.7

Ca=(0.2×25)/(2×16.7)

Ca=0.15mol/dm³

mole of acid=Concentration×volume

mole of acid=0.15×(16.7/1000)

mole of acid=2.5×10^-3moles

The answer is the concentration of H₂SO₄ = 0.25 mol/L or 0.25 M.

What is Neutralization reaction ?

A neutralization reaction is when an acid and a base react to form water and a salt and involves the combination of H+ ions and OH- ions to generate water.

The neutralization of a strong acid and strong base has a pH equal to 7.

The neutralization of a strong acid and weak base will have a pH of less than 7, and conversely, the resulting pH when a strong base neutralizes a weak acid will be greater than 7.

When a solution is neutralized, it means that salts are formed from equal weights of acid and base

H₂SO₄(l) + 2NaOH(l) - - - > Na₂SO₄(aq) + 2H₂O((l)

From the Equation

Mole ratio of H₂SO₄ and NaOH = 1 : 2

Molarity of Sodium Hydroxide = 0.200mol/dm3

Molarity = moles of solute/litre of solution

moles of solute = 0.200 * 25 *10⁻³

moles of  NaOH = 5 *10⁻³ moles

As Mole ratio of H₂SO₄ and NaOH = 1 : 2

moles of H₂SO₄ = 2.5 *10⁻³

So, the concentration of H₂SO₄ = 0.25 mol/L or 0.25 M.
