A student investigated the reaction between dilute sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide solution.
The student found that 18.5 cm318.5\text{ cm}^318.5 cm3 of 0.400 mol/dm30.400\text{ mol/dm}^30.400 mol/dm3 dilute sulfuric acid (H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4H2SO4) completely reacted with 20.0 cm320.0\text{ cm}^320.0 cm3 of sodium hydroxide (NaOH\text{NaOH}NaOH) solution.
The equation for the reaction is:
2NaOH+H2SO4→Na2SO4+2H2O 2\text{NaOH} + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightarrow \text{Na}_2\text{SO}_4 + 2\text{H}_2\text{O} 2NaOH+H2SO4→Na2SO4+2H2OCalculate the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution in mol/dm3\text{mol/dm}^3mol/dm3 and in g/dm3\text{g/dm}^3g/dm3.
Relative atomic masses (ArA_rAr): H=1\text{H} = 1H=1, O=16\text{O} = 16O=16, Na=23\text{Na} = 23Na=23
