Question

A student titrated 25.0 cm3 portions of dilute sulfuric acid with a 0.105 mol/dm3 sodium hydroxide solution.The equation for the reaction is: 2 NaOH + H2SO4 ⟶ Na2SO4 + 2 H2O Calculate the concentration of the sulfuric acid in mol/dm3 Use only the student's concordant results.

Answer 1

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete as the volume of the base that was used during the titration was not provided. However, the completed question is in the attachment below.

The formula to be used here is CₐVₐ/CbVb = nₐ/nb

where Cₐ is the concentration of the acid = unknown

Vₐ is the volume of the acid used = 25 cm³ (as seen in the question)

Cb is the concentration of the base = 0.105 mol/dm³ (as seen in the question)

Vb is the volume of the base = 22.13 cm³ (22.1 + 22.15 + 22.15/3)

nₐ is the number of moles of acid = 1 (from the chemical equation)

nb is the number of moles of base = 2 (from the chemical equation)

Note that the Vb was based on the concordant results (values within the range of 0.1 cm³ of each other on the table) of the student

Cₐ x 25/0.105 x 22.13 = 1/2

Cₐ x 25 x 2 = 0.105 x 22.13 x 1

Cₐ x 50 = 0.105 x 22.13

Cₐ = 0.105 x 22.13/50

Cₐ = 0.047  mol/dm³

The concentration of the sulfuric acid is 0.047  mol/dm³
