If 42.68 ml of 0.43 M KOH is used to neutralize 18.40 ml of H, SO4, calculate the concentration of the sulfuric acid solution.
Write the net ionic equation of this reaction

The concentration of the sulfuric acid : 0.499 M

The net ionic equation

2 OH ⁻(aq]+ 2 H ⁺ (aq] → 2 H ₂O (l]

Given

42.68 ml of 0.43 M KOH

18.40 ml of H2SO4

Required

the concentration of the sulfuric acid

the net ionic equation

Solution

Acid-base titration formula  

Ma. Va. na = Mb. Vb. nb  

Ma, Mb = acid base concentration  

Va, Vb = acid base volume  

na, nb = acid base valence  

Input the value :

a=KOH, b= H2SO4

0.43 x 42.68 x 1 = Mb x 18.40 x 2

Mb = 0.499 M

The net ionic equation

Reaction

2KOH + H2SO4 → K2SO4 + 2H2O

2 K ⁺ (aq]+ 2 OH ⁻ (aq] + 2 H ⁺ (aq] + SO ₄²⁻(aq] → 2 K ⁺ (aq] + SO ₄²⁻(aq] + 2 H ₂ O (l]

canceled the spectator ions :

2 OH ⁻(aq]+ 2 H ⁺ (aq] → 2 H ₂O (l]

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance
