Question 5

A student uses a pipette to transfer 30.0 cm330.0\,\mathrm{cm^{3}}30.0cm3 of 0.0800 mol dm−30.0800\,\mathrm{mol\,dm^{-3}}0.0800moldm−3 potassium hydroxide solution into a conical flask. The burette contains 0.120 mol dm−30.120\,\mathrm{mol\,dm^{-3}}0.120moldm−3 oxalic acid solution.

The equation for the reaction during the titration is:

H2C2O4(aq)+2KOH(aq)→K2C2O4(aq)+2H2O(l)\mathrm{H_{2}C_{2}O_{4}(aq) + 2KOH(aq) \rightarrow K_{2}C_{2}O_{4}(aq) + 2H_{2}O(l)}H2​C2​O4​(aq)+2KOH(aq)→K2​C2​O4​(aq)+2H2​O(l)

What volume of oxalic acid exactly neutralises the potassium hydroxide?

A

40.0 cm340.0\,\mathrm{cm^{3}}40.0cm3

B

10.0 cm310.0\,\mathrm{cm^{3}}10.0cm3

C

20.0 cm320.0\,\mathrm{cm^{3}}20.0cm3

D

30.0 cm330.0\,\mathrm{cm^{3}}30.0cm3
