Analytical Chemistry Question 275

Question: What is the molarity of $ H_2SO_4 $ solution if 25 ml is exactly neutralised with 32.63 ml of 0.164 M, NaOH

[DCE 2003]

Options:

A) 0.107 M

B) 0.126 M

C) 0.214 M

D) -0.428 M

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ 0.164\ M\ NaOH\ \cong \ 0.164\ N\ NaOH $ We know, $ N_1V_1=N_2V_2; $

$ N_1\times 25=0.164\times 32.63 $

$ 0.214\ N\ H_2SO_4\cong \frac{0.214}{2}M\ H_2SO_4 $ ( $ \because $ basicity of $ H_2SO_4\ is\ 2 $ ) $ \cong \ 0.107\ M\ H_2SO_4 $
