Answer:
A) 31.22
Explanation:
The reaction of sulfuric acid with NaOH is:
H₂SO₄ + 2 NaOH → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
To solve this problem we need to determine the moles of acid that will react, and, using the chemical equation we can determine the moles of NaOH and the volume that a 0.2389M NaOH solution would require to neutralize it.
<em>Moles H₂SO₄ (Molar mass: 98.08g/mol):</em>
0.9368g * 39.04% = 0.3657g H₂SO₄ * (1mol / 98.08g) =
3.7289x10⁻³moles H₂SO₄
And moles of NaOH that you require to neutralize the acid are:
3.7289x10⁻³moles H₂SO₄ * (2 moles NaOH / 1 mole H₂SO₄) =
7.4578x10⁻³ moles NaOH
Using a 0.2389M NaOH solution:
7.4578x10⁻³ moles NaOH * (1L / 0.2389mol) = 0.03122L = 31.22mL
Right answer is:
<h3>A) 31.22
</h3>
Methyl orange shows red color in acidic medium and yellow color in basic medium. Because it changes color at the pKa of a mid strength acid, it is usually used in titration for acids. Unlike a universal indicator, methyl orange does not have a full spectrum of color change, but it has a sharp end point.
