Question

Suppose you are titrating a sulfuric acid solution of unknown concentration with a sodium hydroxide solution according to the equation H 2 S O 4 + 2 N a O H ⟶ 2 H 2 O + N a 2 S O 4 If you require 29.09 mL of 0.639 M N a O H solution to titrate 213.8 mL of H 2 S O 4 solution, what is the concentration of the H 2 S O 4 solution?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

H ₂ S O ₄ + 2 N a O H ⟶ 2 H ₂ O + N a ₂ S O ₄

29.09 mL of 0.639 M N a O H is mixed with 213.8 mL of H ₂ S O ₄

Let the concentration of H ₂ S O ₄ be S₂ .

In terms of normal or equivalent solution is will be 2 N  solution

From the formula S₁ V₁ = S₂ V₂

= 29.09 x .639 = 213.8 x  S₂

S₂ = .087 N solution

In terms of molar solution it will be .087 / 2 M

= .0435 M
