How many milliliters of 0.100 M KOH would you need to titrate 25.0 mL of the oxalic acid solution

To answer this question, we need to use the balanced chemical equation between oxalic acid (H2C2O4) and potassium hydroxide (KOH):

H2C2O4 + 2KOH -> K2C2O4 + 2H2O

From the equation, we can see that the stoichiometric ratio between oxalic acid and potassium hydroxide is 1:2.

Given that the volume of the oxalic acid solution is 25.0 mL and its concentration is not mentioned, it is not possible to directly determine the amount of oxalic acid using this information.

However, assuming the oxalic acid solution is also 0.100 M, we can calculate the number of moles of oxalic acid:

Moles of Oxalic Acid = Concentration × Volume
= 0.100 mol/L × 0.0250 L
= 0.00250 mol

Since the stoichiometric ratio between oxalic acid and KOH is 1:2, we need twice the amount of KOH to fully react with the oxalic acid:

Moles of KOH needed = 2 × Moles of Oxalic Acid
= 2 × 0.00250 mol
= 0.00500 mol

Now, we can calculate the volume of 0.100 M KOH needed using its concentration:

Volume of KOH (in liters) = Moles of KOH needed / Concentration
= 0.00500 mol / 0.100 mol/L
= 0.0500 L

Finally, we can convert the volume from liters to milliliters by multiplying by 1000:

Volume of KOH needed = 0.0500 L × 1000 mL/L
= 50.0 mL

Therefore, you would need 50.0 milliliters of 0.100 M KOH to titrate 25.0 mL of the oxalic acid solution.

To determine the number of milliliters of 0.100 M KOH required to titrate 25.0 mL of the oxalic acid solution, we need to use the concept of stoichiometry and the equation of the reaction between KOH and oxalic acid.

The balanced equation for the reaction between KOH and oxalic acid is:

2 KOH + H2C2O4 → K2C2O4 + 2 H2O

From the equation, we can consider the stoichiometric ratio between KOH and H2C2O4, which is 2:1. This means that 2 moles of KOH reacts with 1 mole of H2C2O4.

Now, let's calculate the number of moles of H2C2O4 in the 25.0 mL of oxalic acid solution. We need to know the concentration of the oxalic acid solution to determine the number of moles. Once we have the number of moles of H2C2O4, we can use the stoichiometric ratio to find the required amount of KOH.

Let's assume the concentration of the oxalic acid solution is C M.

Number of moles of H2C2O4 = volume (in liters) x concentration (in mol/L)
= 25.0 mL x (1 L / 1000 mL) x C
= 0.025 L x C
= 0.025 C moles

Since the stoichiometric ratio between KOH and H2C2O4 is 2:1, the number of moles of KOH required will also be 0.025 C moles.

Now, we can determine the volume of 0.100 M KOH required.

The concentration of KOH is given as 0.100 M, which means that 0.100 moles of KOH are present in 1 L of solution.

Volume of 0.100 M KOH required = (0.025 C moles) / (0.100 moles/L)
= (0.025 C moles) x (1 L / 0.100 moles)
= 0.25 C L

Therefore, the number of milliliters of 0.100 M KOH required to titrate 25.0 mL of the oxalic acid solution is 0.25 C mL. Keep in mind that the exact value of C is required to determine the final answer.
