Question

Mitchell and his lab partner were conducting a titration experiment. Their goal was to neutralize 0.50 mol NaOH. How many moles of H2SO4 are needed to complete the neutralization? A) 0.25 mol B) 0.50 mol C) 1.00 mol D) 2.00 mol

Answer 1

The answer is "Option A"

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Moles in
`NaOH = 0.50`

The equation formula for
`NaOH`and
`H_2SO_4` reactions as follows:

`2NaOH+H_2SO_4\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+2H_2O`

The reaction's stoichiometry:

If 2 moles of
`NaOH` react with 1
`H_2SO_4` mole

Thus 0.50
`NaOH` moles react with =
`(1)/(2) * 0.50`
`H_2SO_4` moles

So, the final value is= 0.25
