question 7 and 8.

7. To prepare 500~cm^{3} of 0.15 mol/dm³ sulphuric acid from a stock solution of 2.0~mol/dm^{3} sulphuric acid. The volume of stock solution required is (A)37~cm^{3}(B) (B)37.5~cm^{3}(C)27.8~cm^{3}(D) .4~cm^{3}
8. The mass of NaOH required to prepare 250~cm^{3} of 0.1M NaOH is (A) 10g (B) 4g (C) 40g (D) 1g

To solve question 7, we can use the molarity equation:

M1V1 = M2V2

M1 is the molarity of the stock solution (2.0 mol/dm³)
V1 is the volume of stock solution needed
M2 is the desired molarity (0.15 mol/dm³)
V2 is the final volume of the diluted solution (500 cm³)

Plugging in the given values, we get:

2.0 mol/dm³ * V1 = 0.15 mol/dm³ * 500 cm³

Simplifying, we get:

V1 = (0.15 mol/dm³ * 500 cm³) / 2.0 mol/dm³

V1 = 7.5 cm³

Therefore, (B) 7.5 cm³ is the correct answer for question 7.

To solve question 8, we can use the same molarity equation:

M1V1 = M2V2

M1 is the molarity of the stock solution (unknown)
V1 is the volume of stock solution needed
M2 is the desired molarity (0.1 mol/dm³)
V2 is the final volume of the diluted solution (250 cm³)

Since the molarity and volume are the same for both NaOH and water (assuming we are diluting the stock solution with water), the ratio between moles and volume will be the same:

M1V1 = M2V2
M1 = (M2V2) / V1
M1 = (0.1 mol/dm³ * 250 cm³) / V1

To calculate the mass of NaOH required, we need to use the molar mass of NaOH, which is 22.99 g/mol + 16.00 g/mol + 1.008 g/mol = 39.998 g/mol.

The equation for calculating moles is:

moles = mass / molar mass

Rearranging the equation, we get:

mass = moles * molar mass

Using this equation, we can calculate the mass of NaOH required:

mass = (M2V2) / V1 * molar mass

mass = (0.1 mol/dm³ * 250 cm³) / V1 * 39.998 g/mol

We cannot solve this equation without knowing the value of V1, the volume of stock solution needed.

Therefore, we cannot determine the correct answer for question 8 without more information.
