If a student is titrating 10.0 mL of 1 M HNO3 with 1M NaOH and another students is titrating 10.0 mL of 1 M H2SO4 with 1 M NaOH, would they need the same volume of NaOH to reach the equivalence point? Explain your answer.

Given the two different titration reactions, the volume of NaOH required to reach the equivalence point of both reaction will be different.

Titration of HNO₃ and NaOH

Balanced equation

HNO₃ + NaOH —> NaNO₃ + H₂O

From the balanced equation above,

  • The mole ratio of the acid, HNO₃ (nA) = 1
  • The mole ratio of the base, NaOH (nB) = 1

How to determine the volume of NaOH

  • Volume of acid, HNO₃ (Va) = 10 mL
  • Molarity of acid, HNO₃ (Ma) = 1 M
  • Molarity of base, NaOH (Mb) = 1 M
  • Volume of base, NaOH (Vb) =?

MaVa / MbVb = nA / nB

(1 × 10) / (1 × Vb) = 1

10 / Vb = 1

Cross multiply

1 × Vb = 10

Vb = 10 mL

Titration of H₂SO₄ and NaOH

Balanced equation

H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH —> Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

From the balanced equation above,

  • The mole ratio of the acid, H₂SO₄ (nA) = 1
  • The mole ratio of the base, NaOH (nB) = 2

How to determine the volume of NaOH

  • Volume of acid, H₂SO₄ (Va) = 10 mL
  • Molarity of acid, H₂SO₄ (Ma) = 1 M
  • Molarity of base, NaOH (Mb) = 1 M
  • Volume of base, NaOH (Vb) =?

MaVa / MbVb = nA / nB

(1 × 10) / (1 × Vb) = 1/2

10 / Vb = 1/2

Cross multiply

1 × Vb = 10 × 2

Vb = 20 mL

Conclusion

  • Titration of HNO₃ and NaOH required 10 mL of NaOH
  • Titration of H₂SO₄ and NaOH required 20 mL of NaOH

From the above calculations, we can conclude that different volume of NaOH will be required for the different reaction.
