Question
Using the following reaction:
H2SO4 (aq) + 2NaOH (aq) → Na2SO4 (aq) + 2H2O (l)
Calculate the molarity of the H2SO4 solution if 14.92 mL of NaOH was necessary to reach the endpoint of a titration. The molarity of the NaOH solution was 0.83 M and 25.18 mL of H2SO4 was added to the Erlenmeyer flask.

Answer:
The molar concentration of the H₂SO₄ solution is 0.28 M
Explanation:
Molar concentration = number of moles / volume in litres
Number of moles = molar concentration × volume
From the equation of reaction, molar ratio of acid to base = 1 : 2
Using the formula; Na/Nb = CaVa/CbVb
Where Na is the number of moles of acid; Nb = number of moles of base; Ca = concentration of acid; Va = volume of acid; Cb = concentration of base; Vb = volume of base; Na/Nb = mole ratio of acid to base
Substituting the given values in the equation:
1/2 = Ca × 25.18 / 0.93 × 14.92
Ca = 0.93 × 14.92/ 25.18 × 2
Ca = 0.28M
Therefore, the molar concentration of the H₂SO₄ solution is 0.28 M
