: : : 1 Determine the concentration of sulphuric acid using standard hydroxide solution. 1) 25.00cm3 of sulphuric acid was pipetted into a conical flask. 2) 2-3 drops of phenolphthalein is added and the solution with the standard NaOH was pipetted until the first permanent pink colour was observed. 3) The procedure was repeated for consistent results.

Discussion :
Carefully use sodium hydroxide to titrate sulphuric acid so that volume of sodium hydroxide used is not in excess. First permanent pink colour is observed when the reaction between sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide is completed. Procedure is repeated for 3 times and calculate the average results to get a more accurate results.
Conclusion :
25.00cm3 of sulphuric acid required 27.80cm3 of the sodium hydroxide solution for complete reaction.
Calculations :
1.
Use the values for the averaged total volume of NaOH added and the NaOH concentration to calculate the moles of NaOH used. Average total volume of NaOH = (28.40 + 27.50 + 27.50)cm3 3 = 27.80 cm3 Concentration of NaOH = 4.0gdm-3 Mass of NaOH = 4.0gdm-3 x (27.80 cm3 1000) = 0.1112g

2.
Write and balance an equation to show how H2SO4 reacts with NaOH in a neutralization equation. H2SO4 + 2NaOH Na2SO4 + 2H2O
3.
Calculate the moles of H2SO4 used in the reaction, using the moles of NaOH calculated in (1) and the balanced equation in (2). 1 mol H2SO4 2 mol NaOH X 2.78 x 10-3 mol NaOH X = 2.78 x 10-3 mol 2 = 1.39 x 10-3 mol
4.
Calculate the molarity of the H2SO4 , using the moles of H2SO4 calculated in (3) and the volume of H2SO4 recorded in your table. Molarity of H2SO4 = 1.39 x 10-3 mol 0.025dm3 = 0.0556 moldm-3
