what is the volume, in milimiters, of a 0.350 M KOH needed to completely neutralize 15.0 ml of a 0.250 M H2SO4 solution?

Answer :

Answer:

The volume of KOH needed for complete neutralization is 2.143 ml

Explanation:

Complete neutralization reaction is given below as;

H₂SO₄  + 2KOH ---------> K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

Acid to base ratio, na : nb = 1 : 2

[tex]\frac{C_AV_A}{C_BV_B} =\frac{na}{nb}[/tex]

where;

[tex]C_A[/tex] is the concentration of the acid ( H₂SO₄) = 0.25 M

[tex]C_B[/tex] is the concentration of the base (KOH) = 0.35 M

[tex]V_A[/tex] is the volume of the acid = 15 ml

[tex]V_B[/tex] is the volume of the base = ?

[tex]\frac{0.25*15}{0.35*V_B} =\frac{1}{2}\\\\0.35*V_B =2(0.25*15)\\\\0.35*V_B = 7.5\\\\V_B = \frac{7.5}{3.5} = 2.143 ml[/tex]

The volume of KOH needed for complete neutralization is 2.143 ml
