Question:

If 37.8 mL of a 0.160 M {eq}KOH {/eq} solution is required to titrate 28.5 mL of a {eq}H_2SO_4 {/eq} solution, what is the molarity of the {eq}H_2SO_4 {/eq} solution?

{eq}H_2SO_4(aq)+2KOH(aq)\to 2H_2O(l)+K_2SO_4(aq) {/eq}

Equivalence Point:


The equivalence point is an important point in an acid-base titration experiment, in which the unknown acid/base analyte reactant is neutralized (fully consumed) by the standardized base/acid titrant reactant. This means that the starting molar quantities of the two reactants at this point exactly match the stoichiometry of the balanced acid-base reaction equation. Based on this property you can use the reaction stoichiometry together with the moles of the titrant reactant, to find the moles of the analyte reactant.
