Question
part A. a volume of 90.0mL of aqueous potassium hydroxide (KOH) was titrated against a standard solution od sulfuric acid (H2SO4). What was the molarity of the (KOH) solution if 25.7mL of 1.50 M H2SO4 was needed? the equation is 2KOH (aq)+H2SO4 (aq)-->K2SO4 (aq) +2H2O (l)
Part B
Explanation / Answer
Part-A
We can use the equation V1*2S1 = V2*S2 Because the equation says 2 moles of KOH is required to neutralize 1 mol of H2SO4 as 2H+ will be realeased by it.
where, v denotes volume and s denotes molarity. Suffix 1 stands for H2SO4 and 2 stands for KOH
In this case, V1=25.7 mL and S1 = 1.50 M of H2SO4
and V2 = 90 mL of KOH and S2=?
S2 = 25.7*2*1.50/90 M = 0.857 M is the molarity of KOH.
Part B
Moles of KMnO4 = 1.68*21.3/1000 moles = 0.0358 moles
2 moles of KMnO4 react with 1 mole of H2O2.
So, number of moles of H2O2 reacted = 0.0358/2 moles.
Molar mass of H2O2 = 34 g/mol
So, H2O2 used was = 34*0.0358/2 = 0.609 g.
