The balanced equation for the above reaction is
2NaOH + H₂SO₄ ---> Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry of NaOH to H₂SO₄ is 2:1
number of NaOH moles required-0.5000 M / 1000 mL/L x 21.17 mL = 0.010585 mol
According to stoichiometry, acid moles required are 1/2 of the base moles reacted
Therefore number of H₂SO₄ moles reacted - 0.010585 /2 mol
Number of moles in 42.35 mL of H₂SO₄ - 0.010585 /2 mol
Therefore in 1 L solution - (0.010585) /2 / 42.35 mL x 1000 mL/L = 0.125 M
Molarity of H₂SO₄ - 0.125 M
The 2 parts or components that make up a solution would be the solute and the solvent.
Let's eliminate these one by one.
The first pair would not be the same, as X would most likely be in group IA, and Y would be in group VIIA, because of their tendency to gain and lose electrons.
The second pair would also violate the same rule, but X would most likely be in group IIA, and Y would most likely be in group VIA.
The third pair would not be the same, as X is most likely in group VIIA, and since Y has eight valence electrons, it is most likely a noble gas.
The final pair has X with atomic number 15, making it phosphorous. Phosphorous wants to gain 3 electrons to have a full octet of 8 outer "valence" electrons, and Y would also like to gain 3 electrons. This means it is possible that the final pair would be in the same group.
He has to use a different colored light at a higher frequency.
