Answer:
25.7 mL of H₂SO₄
Explanation:
We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:
H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH —> Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
From the balanced equation above,
The mole ratio of acid, H₂SO₄ (nₐ) = 1
The mole ratio of base, NaOH (n₆) = 2
Finally, we shall determine the volume of H₂SO₄ needed for the reaction. This can be obtained as shown below:
Molarity of acid, H₂SO₄ (Mₐ) = 0.350 M
Volume of base, NaOH (V₆) = 60 mL
Molarity of base, NaOH (M₆) = 0.300 M
Volume of acid, H₂SO₄ (Vₐ) = ?
MₐVₐ / M₆V₆ = nₐ/n₆
0.350 × Vₐ / 0.3 × 60 = 1/2
0.350 × Vₐ / 18 = 1/2
Cross multiply
0.350 × 2 × Vₐ = 18
0.7 × Vₐ = 18
Divide both side by 0.7
Vₐ = 18 / 0.7
Vₐ = 25.7 mL
Thus, 25.7 mL of H₂SO₄ is needed for the reaction.
