Question

A 31.5 ml aliquot of h2so4 of unknown concentration was titrated with 0.0134 m naoh. it took 23.9 ml of the vase to reach the endpoint of the titration. what was the concentration of the acid

Answer 1

Answer: The concentration of acid is 0.00508 M

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

`n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2`

where,

`n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1` are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is
`H_2SO_4`

`n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2` are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

`n_1=2\\M_1=?M\\V_1=31.5mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.0134M\\V_2=23.9mL`

Putting values in above equation, we get:

`2* M_1* 31.5=1* 0.0134* 23.9\\\\M_1=0.00508M`

Hence, the concentration of acid is 0.00508 M

Answer 2

solve for the molarity of H+, which reacts 1:1 withNaOH, using:

M1V1 = M2V2

(M1)(31.5 ml) = (0.0134M)(23,9ml)

M1 = 0.010167 molar H+ ion

since it takes 2 H+ ions to make 1 H2SO4:

0.010167 molar H+ ion => 1/2 as much=> 0.00508 M H2SO4

your answer is 0.00508 M H2SO4
