Answer: 0.19M

Explanation: 2KOH+H_2SO_4\rightarrow K_2SO_4+2H_2O

Using Molarity equation:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

M_1 = molarity of acid

V_1 = volume of acid

M_2 = molarity of base

V_2 = volume of base

2\times M_1\times 50ml=1\times 0.500M\times 38.74ml

M_1=0.19M

Thus the concentration of the H_2SO_4 solution is 0.19M.

Concentration of {{\text{H}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4} solution is \boxed{{\mathbf{0}}{\mathbf{.1937 mol}}} .

Further Explanation:

<u>Neutralization reaction:</u>

It is the reaction that occurs between an acid and a base in order to form salt and water. It is named so as it neutralizes the excess amount of hydrogen or hydroxide ions present in the solution. An example of neutralization reaction is,

{\text{HCl}}+{\text{NaOH}}\to {\text{NaCl}}+{{\text{H}}_2}{\text{O}}

The balanced chemical equation for the neutralization reaction of potassium hydroxide and sulphuric acid solution is as follows:

{\text{2KOH}}\left({aq}\right)+{{\text{H}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4}\left( {aq}\right)\to {{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4}\left({aq}\right)+2{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}\left( l \right)

From the balanced chemical reaction, the reaction stoichiometry between  {\text{KOH}} and {{\text{H}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4} is as follows:

\boxed{2{\text{ mol KOH}}:1{\text{ mol }}{{\text{H}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4}}

The balanced chemical equation shows that 2 moles of {\text{KOH}} reacts with 1 mole of {{\text{H}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4} to neutralize the reaction completely.

The volume of given solution of {\text{KOH}} is 38.74 ml and the concentration of {\text{KOH}} is 0.500 M

Calculate the number of moles of  {\mathbf{KOH}} as follows:

\begin{aligned}{\text{Number of moles of KOH}}\left({{\text{mol}}}\right)&= {\text{Concentration }}\left({{\text{mol/L}}}\right)\times{\text{Volume }}\left( {\text{L}}\right)\\&=0.500{\text{ mol/L}}\times\left({38.74{\text{ ml}}\times\frac{{1{\text{ L}}}}{{1000\,{\text{ml}}}}}\right)\\&=0.01937{\text{ mol}}\\\end{gathered}

Since 2 moles of {\text{KOH}} reacts with1 mole of {{\text{H}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4} to neutralize the reaction completely, therefore, the number of moles of {{\mathbf{H}}_{\mathbf{2}}}{\mathbf{S}}{{\mathbf{O}}_{\mathbf{4}}}  required to neutralize 0.01937 moles of {\text{KOH}} is calculated as follows:

\begin{aligned}{\text{Amount of }}{{\text{H}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4}\left( {{\text{mol}}}\right)&=\left({{\text{0}}{\text{.01937 mol KOH}}} \right)\left({\frac{{1{\text{ mol }}{{\text{H}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4}}}{{2{\text{ mol KOH}}}}} \right)\\&= 0.009685{\text{ mol }}{{\text{H}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4}\\\end{gathered}

Given volume of {{\text{H}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4} is 50 ml.

The concentration of {{\mathbf{H}}_{\mathbf{2}}}{\mathbf{S}}{{\mathbf{O}}_{\mathbf{4}}} can be calculated as follows:

\begin{aligned}{\text{Concentration }}\left( {{\text{mol/L}}}\right)&= \frac{{{\text{Number of moles of }}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\left({{\text{Mol}}}\right)}}{{{\text{Volume}}\left( {\text{L}}\right)}}\\&=\frac{{0.009685{\text{ mol}}}}{{{\text{50 ml}}\times\left({\frac{{1\;{\text{L}}}}{{1000\;{\text{ml}}}}}\right)}}\\&=0.1937{\text{ mol}}\\\end{gathered}

Write a net ionic equation for the overall reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide and hydrosulfuric aci
Helga [31]

Answer:

2OH-(aq) + 2H+(aq) → 2H2O(l)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

sodium hydroxide = NaOH

hydrosulfuric acid = H2S

Step 2: The unbalanced equation

NaOH(aq) + H2S(aq) → Na2S(aq) + H2O(l)

Step 3: Balancing the equation

On the left side we have 1x Na (in NaOH), on the right side we have 2x Na (in Na2S). To balance the amount of Na on both sides, we have to multiply NaOH on the left side by 2.

2NaOH(aq) + H2S(aq) → Na2S(aq) + H2O(l)

On the left side we have 4x H (2x in NaOH and 2x in H2S), on the right side we have 2x H (in H2O). To balance the amount of H on both sides, we have to multiply H2O on the right side by 2. Now the equation is balanced.

2NaOH(aq) + H2S(aq) → Na2S(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Step 4: The net ionic equation

2Na+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) + 2H+(aq) + S^2-(aq) → 2Na+(aq) + S^2-(aq) + 2H2O(l)

The net ionic equation, for which spectator ions are omitted - remember that spectator ions are those ions located on both sides of the equation - will , after canceling those spectator ions in both side, look like this:

2OH-(aq) + 2H+(aq) → 2H2O(l)
