25.00cm3 of sodium hydroxide was pipetted into a conical flask. It was titrated against 0.10mol/dm3 hydrochloric acid. The mean volume of acid needed was 24.00cm3. Calculate the concentration of sodium hydroxide used in the titration.

First write out the chemical equation:

HCl + NaOH -> NaCl + H₂0

Next construct a table with the information we have and in wha...

Write a balanced equation for the reaction between NaOH and sulfuric acid. A conical flask contains 25cm^3 of 0.124M NaOH, a burette contains 0.0625M sulfuric acid. Find the minimum amount of acid required to completely react with the NaOH in the flask.

first, consider balanced equation: consider reaction occuring: NaOH + H₂SO₄ --> Na₂SO₄ + H₂O (neutralisation) ions present in each reactant...
