A 31.5 ml aliquot of H2SO4 of an unknown concentration was titration with 0.0134 M NaOH. write the balanced chemical reaction with the correct states of matter.
The balanced chemical reaction for the titration of H2SO4 with NaOH can be represented as follows:
H2SO4(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Na2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)
In this reaction, sulfuric acid (H2SO4) reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to produce sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) and water (H2O).
To write the balanced chemical reaction with the correct states of matter, we need to know the reaction equation between H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) and NaOH (sodium hydroxide). The reaction equation is:
H2SO4(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) --> Na2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)
In this equation, (aq) represents an aqueous solution, and (l) represents a liquid. Now, let's balance the equation:
2H2SO4(aq) + 4NaOH(aq) --> 2Na2SO4(aq) + 4H2O(l)
Thus, the balanced chemical equation, with the correct states of matter, for the reaction between H2SO4 and NaOH is:
2H2SO4(aq) + 4NaOH(aq) --> 2Na2SO4(aq) + 4H2O(l)
