Answer:
We need 12.26 grams H2SO4
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Volume of a H2SO4 solution = 500 mL = 0.500 L
Concentration of the H2SO4 solution = 0.250 M
Molar mass of H2SO4 = 98.08 g/mol
Step 2: Calculate moles H2SO4
Moles H2SO4 = concentration * volume
Moles H2SO4 = 0.250 M * 0.500 L
Moles H2SO4 = 0.125 moles
Step 3: Calculate mass of H2SO4
Mass of H2SO4 = moles * molar mass
Mass of H2SO4 = 0.125 moles * 98.08 g/mol
Mass of H2SO4 = 12.26 grams
We need 12.26 grams H2SO4
