Average volume of H2SO4 ( Sulphuric acid ) used: 12.0

+ 11.8+11.8 /3 + = 11.9 cm 3
Number of moles of H2SO4 reacted : x mols in 11.9 cm
^3

0.05 mol dm -3 H2SO4 = 0.05 in dm ^3 ( 1000cm )

o.o5= 1000cm
x= 11.9cm ^ 3
0.05* 11.9 /1000 =
0.000595 mols . H2 SO4 = 5.95 *10^-4
Number of moles of NaOH in the 25cm ^3 that was
pipetted into conical flask .From the balanced equation
in 1 above : the ratio of NaOH to H2SO4 =2:1
Therefore 1 mole of H2SO4 reacted with 2 moles of
NaoH
So if 0.000595 mols of H2SO4 reacted , it therefore
means that 2*0.000595mols of NaOH reacted.
0.00119 mols. Of NaOH in 25cm
Molar concentration = 0.00119 / 25cm * 1000
= 0.0476 mol dm ^-3
Mass concentration = 0.0476 *40
= 1.904 g dm ^-3
