Step 4: Calculate the number of hydrogen ions (H+\text{H}^+) in the volume of A used.
First, calculate the moles of H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 used. We assumed the average volume of A used (VaV_a) is 20.00 cm3=0.02000 dm320.00 \text{ cm}^3 = 0.02000 \text{ dm}^3.

Moles of H2SO4=Concentration of A×Volume of A\text{Moles of H}_2\text{SO}_4 = \text{Concentration of A} \times \text{Volume of A} Moles of H2SO4=0.04375 mol dm−3×0.02000 dm3\text{Moles of H}_2\text{SO}_4 = 0.04375 \text{ mol dm}^{-3} \times 0.02000 \text{ dm}^3 Moles of H2SO4=0.000875 mol\text{Moles of H}_2\text{SO}_4 = 0.000875 \text{ mol}

Next, determine the moles of hydrogen ions. From the balanced dissociation equation of sulfuric acid:

\text{H}_2\text{SO}_{4(aq)} \rightarrow 2\text{H}^{+}_{(aq)} + \text{SO}_{4}^{2-}_{(aq)}

Each mole of H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 produces 2 moles of H+\text{H}^+ ions.

Moles of H+=2×Moles of H2SO4\text{Moles of H}^+ = 2 \times \text{Moles of H}_2\text{SO}_4 Moles of H+=2×0.000875 mol=0.00175 mol\text{Moles of H}^+ = 2 \times 0.000875 \text{ mol} = 0.00175 \text{ mol}

Finally, calculate the number of hydrogen ions using Avogadro's number (NA=6.022×1023 mol−1N_A = 6.022 \times 10^{23} \text{ mol}^{-1}).

Number of H+ ions=Moles of H+×NA\text{Number of H}^+ \text{ ions} = \text{Moles of H}^+ \times N_A Number of H+ ions=0.00175 mol×6.022×1023 mol−1\text{Number of H}^+ \text{ ions} = 0.00175 \text{ mol} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \text{ mol}^{-1} Number of H+ ions=1.05385×1021\text{Number of H}^+ \text{ ions} = 1.05385 \times 10^{21}
