25 cm3\text{25 cm}^3

Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Write the balanced chemical equation for the neutralization reaction.

    Sulfuric acid (H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4) reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH\text{NaOH}) to produce sodium sulfate (Na2SO4\text{Na}_2\text{SO}_4) and water (H2O\text{H}_2\text{O}).

    H2SO4(aq)+2NaOH(aq)⟶Na2SO4(aq)+2H2O(l)\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4\text{(aq)} + 2\text{NaOH}\text{(aq)} \longrightarrow \text{Na}_2\text{SO}_4\text{(aq)} + 2\text{H}_2\text{O}\text{(l)}

    From the balanced equation, 1 mole of H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 reacts with 2 moles of NaOH\text{NaOH}.

  2. Calculate the moles of sulfuric acid.

    Given:
    Volume of H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 solution = 25 cm3\text{cm}^3 = 0.025 L
    Concentration of H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 solution = 0.05 M

    Moles of H2SO4=Molarity×Volume (L)\text{Moles of H}_2\text{SO}_4 = \text{Molarity} \times \text{Volume (L)} Moles of H2SO4=0.05 mol/L×0.025 L\text{Moles of H}_2\text{SO}_4 = 0.05 \text{ mol/L} \times 0.025 \text{ L} Moles of H2SO4=0.00125 mol\text{Moles of H}_2\text{SO}_4 = 0.00125 \text{ mol}
  3. Calculate the moles of sodium hydroxide required for neutralization.

    Using the mole ratio from the balanced equation (1 mole H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 : 2 moles NaOH\text{NaOH}):

    Moles of NaOH=Moles of H2SO4×2 mol NaOH1 mol H2SO4\text{Moles of NaOH} = \text{Moles of H}_2\text{SO}_4 \times \frac{2 \text{ mol NaOH}}{1 \text{ mol H}_2\text{SO}_4} Moles of NaOH=0.00125 mol×2\text{Moles of NaOH} = 0.00125 \text{ mol} \times 2 Moles of NaOH=0.0025 mol\text{Moles of NaOH} = 0.0025 \text{ mol}
  4. Calculate the volume of sodium hydroxide solution required.

    Given:
    Concentration of NaOH\text{NaOH} solution = 0.1 M

    Volume of NaOH (L)=Moles of NaOHMolarity of NaOH\text{Volume of NaOH (L)} = \frac{\text{Moles of NaOH}}{\text{Molarity of NaOH}} Volume of NaOH (L)=0.0025 mol0.1 mol/L\text{Volume of NaOH (L)} = \frac{0.0025 \text{ mol}}{0.1 \text{ mol/L}} Volume of NaOH (L)=0.025 L\text{Volume of NaOH (L)} = 0.025 \text{ L}
  5. Convert the volume to cm3\text{cm}^3 (optional, but consistent with given units).

    Volume of NaOH (cm3)=0.025 L×1000 cm31 L\text{Volume of NaOH (cm}^3) = 0.025 \text{ L} \times \frac{1000 \text{ cm}^3}{1 \text{ L}} Volume of NaOH (cm3)=25 cm3\text{Volume of NaOH (cm}^3) = 25 \text{ cm}^3

    The volume of 0.1 M sodium hydroxide solution required is 0.025 L\boxed{\text{0.025 L}} or 25 cm3\boxed{\text{25 cm}^3}.
