Question

A student determines that she used 0.0665 mol of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to completely titrate 25.00 mL of sulfuric acid solution (H2SO4). What is the molarity of the sulfuric acid? 0.00133 M 0.00266 M 1.33 M 2.66 M

Answer 1

To determine the concentration of one solution which is specifically a basic or acidic solution by taking advantage of its points of equivalence, titration analysis is done.

Let us determine the reaction for the titration below:

2NaOH +2H2SO4 = Na2SO4 +2H2O

So,

0.0665 mol NaOH (2 mol H2SO4/ 2mol NaOH) / .025 L solution

= 2.62 M H2SO4

The answer is the fourth option:

2.62 M
