The balanced equation for the above reaction is
2NaOH + H₂SO₄ ---> Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry of NaOH to H₂SO₄ is 2:1
number of NaOH moles required-0.5000 M / 1000 mL/L x 21.17 mL = 0.010585 mol
According to stoichiometry, acid moles required are 1/2 of the base moles reacted
Therefore number of H₂SO₄ moles reacted - 0.010585 /2 mol
Number of moles in 42.35 mL of H₂SO₄ - 0.010585 /2 mol
Therefore in 1 L solution - (0.010585) /2 / 42.35 mL x 1000 mL/L = 0.125 M
Molarity of H₂SO₄ - 0.125 M
Volume of tank = (given)
Since,
So,
For :
The significant rule for multiplication, states that the number of significant figures in the answer obtained by multiplication is determined by the value with the lowest number of significant digits.
Since, the minimum number of decimal places in the above multiplication operation is 1 so, the final result must be upto 1 decimal place only.
Hence, volume in is 243.5.
