Answer and see the solution →A student carries out a titration to find the concentration of a sulfuric acid solution. She adds exactly 25.0 cm³ of sodium hydroxide solution of known concentration, 0.150 mol/dm³, to a conical flask. She slowly adds sulfuric acid from a burette, using methyl orange as an indicator, until the indicator just changes colour. She records that she has used 30.0 cm³ of sulfuric acid to reach the endpoint. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:
Explain carefully how you would use these results to calculate the concentration of the sulfuric acid.
