In the reaction between sodium hydroxide and tetraoxosulphate (VI) solutions, what volume of 0.5 molar sodium hydroxide would exactly neutralize 10cm3 of 1.25 molar tetraoxosulphate (vi) acid?

A.

25cm3

B.

10cm3

C.

20cm3

D.

50cm3

Correct answer is D

Equation of reaction : 2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O
Concentration of a base, CB = 0.5M
Volume of acid, VA = 10cm3
Concentration of an acid, CA = 1.25M
Volume of base, VB = ?
Recall:

CAVACBVB=nAnB ... (1)

N.B: From the equation,

nAnB=12

From (1)

1.25×100.5×VB=12

12.50.5VB=12

25 = 0.5VB
VB = 50.0 cm3
