Histidine, an essential amino acid, has as a positively charged imidazole functional group. The imidazole makes it a common participant in enzyme catalyzed reactions. The unprotonated imidazole is nucleophilic and can serve as a general base, while the protonated form can serve as a general acid.

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 2 moles of solute in 4 liters of solution?
Nitella [24]
The simple formula is C = n/V
n = mols
C = Concentration or Molarity
V = Volume in Liters.

n = 2
V = 4
C = 2 / 4
C = 0.5 mol/Litre

A sample of solid sodium hydroxide, weighing 13.20 grams is dissolved in deionized water to make a solution. What volume in mL o
Andreas93 [3]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

2.809 L of H₂SO₄

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept tested: Moles and Molarity

In this case we are give;

Mass of solid sodium hydroxide as 13.20 g

Molarity of H₂SO₄ as 0.235 M

We are required to determine the volume of H₂SO₄ required

<h3>First: We need to write the balanced equation for the reaction.</h3>
  • The reaction between NaOH and H₂SO₄ is a neutralization reaction.
  • The balanced equation for the reaction is;

2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

<h3>Second: We calculate the umber of moles of NaOH used </h3>
  • Number of moles = Mass ÷ Molar mass
  • Molar mass of NaOH is 40.0 g/mol
  • Therefore;

Moles of NaOH = 13.20 g ÷ 40.0 g/mol

                          = 0.33 moles

<h3>Third: Determine the number of moles of the acid, H₂SO₄</h3>
  • From the equation, 2 moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of H₂SO₄
  • Therefore, the mole ratio of NaOH: H₂SO₄ is 2 : 1.
  • Thus, Moles of H₂SO₄ = moles of NaOH × 2

                                    = 0.33 moles × 2

                                   = 0.66 moles of H₂SO₄

<h3>Fourth: Determine the Volume of the acid, H₂SO₄ used</h3>
  • When given the molarity of an acid and the number of moles we can calculate the volume of the acid.
  • That is; Volume = Number of moles ÷ Molarity

In this case;

Volume of the acid = 0.66 moles ÷ 0.235 M

                                = 2.809 L

Therefore, the volume of the acid required to neutralize the base,NaOH is 2.809 L.
