Question
A 30.0 mL sample of H₂SO₄ requires 45.0 mL of 0.200 M NaOH to reach the equivalence point. What is the concentration of the H₂SO₄?
Correct Answer
Option A is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O. Moles NaOH = 0.0450 L × 0.200 M = 0.00900 mol. Moles H₂SO₄ = 0.00900/2 = 0.00450 mol. Concentration = 0.00450/0.0300 = 0.150 M.
Hint
The mole ratio is 1:2 (H₂SO₄:NaOH).
