Answer:
0.24M
Explanation:
The equation for the reaction is given below:
H2SO4 + 2KOH → K2SO4 + 2H2O
From the equation above, we obtained the following information:
nA (mole of acid) = 1
nB (mole of base) = 2
Data obtained from the question include:
Va (volume of the acid) = 12mL
Ca (concentration of the acid) =?
Vb (volume of the base) = 36mL
Cb (concentration of the base) = 0.16 M
The Ca (concentration of the acid) can be obtained as follow:
CaVa/CbVb = nA/nB
Ca x 12 / 0.16 x 36 = 1 /2
Cross multiply to express in linear form as shown below:
Ca x 12 x 2 = 0.16 x 36
Divide both side by 12 x 2
Ca = 0.16 x 36/ 12 x 2
Ca = 0.24M
Therefore, the concentration of the acid is 0.24M
