Question

If it takes 20.4 mL of NaOH(aq) to reach the equivalence point of the titration, what is the molarity of H2SO4(aq)? For your answer, only type in the numerical value with two significant figures. Do NOT include the unit.

Answer 1

Question is incomplete, complete question is;

A 34.8 mL solution of $H_2SO_4$ (aq) of an unknown concentration was titrated with 0.15 M of NaOH(aq).

$H_2SO_4(aq)+2NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Na_2SO_4(aq)+2H_2O(l)$

If it takes 20.4 mL of NaOH(aq) to reach the equivalence point of the titration, what is the molarity of $H_2SO_4(aq)$? For your answer, only type in the numerical value with two significant figures. Do NOT include the unit.

Answer:

0.044 M is the molarity of $H_2SO_4$(aq).

Explanation:

The reaction taking place here is in between acid and base which means that it is a neutralization reaction .

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 $H_2SO_4$

$n_1,M_2\text{ and }V_2$  are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

$n_1=2\\M_1=?\\V_1=34.8 mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.15 M\\V_2=20.4 mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$2\times M_1\times 34.8 mL=1\times 0.15 M\times 20.4 mL\\\\M_1=\frac{1\times 0.15 M\times 20.4 mL\times 10}{2\times 34.8 mL}=0.044 M$

0.044 M is the molarity of $H_2SO_4$(aq).
