What is the molarity of a naoh solution if 11.9 ml of a 0.220 m h2so4 solution is required to neutralize a 25.0-ml sample of the naoh solution?

Respuesta :

0.355M x 0.0282L= 0.01 moles of H2SO4. Remember sulphuric acid is diprotic so it will release 2 from each molecule. 
So moles of protons = 0.01 x 2 = 0.02 moles of H+ 
For neutralization: moles H+ = moles OH- 
Therefore moles of NaOH = 0.02 
conc = moles / volume 
Conc NaOH = 0.02 / 0.025L = 0.8M 

Answer : The concentration of the [tex]NaOH[/tex] is, 0.209 M

Explanation :

Using neutralization law,

[tex]n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2[/tex]

where,

[tex]n_1[/tex] = basicity of an acid [tex]H_2SO_4[/tex] = 2

[tex]n_2[/tex] = acidity of a base (NaOH) = 1

[tex]M_1[/tex] = concentration or molarity of [tex]H_2SO_4[/tex] = 0.220 M

[tex]M_2[/tex] = concentration or molarity of NaOH = ?

[tex]V_1[/tex] = volume of [tex]H_2SO_4[/tex] = 11.9 ml

[tex]V_2[/tex] = volume of NaOH = 25.0 ml

Now put all the given values in the above law, we get the concentration of the [tex]NaOH[/tex].

[tex]2\times 0.220M\times 11.9ml=1\times M_2\times 25.0ml[/tex]

[tex]M_2=0.209M[/tex]

Therefore, the concentration of the [tex]NaOH[/tex] is, 0.209 M
