Answer:

The answer is "Option A"

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Moles in
NaOH = 0.50

The equation formula for
NaOHand
H_2SO_4 reactions as follows:


2NaOH+H_2SO_4\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+2H_2O

The reaction's stoichiometry:

If 2 moles of
NaOH react with 1
H_2SO_4 mole

Thus 0.50
NaOH moles react with =
(1)/(2) * 0.50
H_2SO_4 moles

So, the final value is= 0.25
