Question

What volume of a 0.200 M solution of KOH is required to neutralize 50.0 mL of a 0.100 M solution of H₂SO₄?
Options
A 25.0 mL
B 50.0 mL
Correct Answer
C 100.0 mL
D 12.5 mL
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Reaction: 2KOH + H₂SO₄ → K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O. Moles H₂SO₄ = 0.0500 L × 0.100 M = 0.00500 mol. Moles KOH needed = 2 × 0.00500 = 0.0100 mol. Volume KOH = 0.0100 mol / 0.200 M = 0.0500 L = 50.0 mL.

Hint

Use the balanced equation to get the mole ratio.
