Question

I need help with this question. I don't know what average to calculate and how to provide the calculations especially with the dilution part. Note: The concentration of NaOH is 0.1091 M.

Based on your data, determine an average value for the concentration of the stock H2SO4 solution. Indicate which data points you have included in your determination (you should use at least three), and provide a full set of sample calculations for one of your trials. Do not forget to account for dilution. Table 2: Standardization of sulfuric acid solution H2SO4 sample code Indicator used Volume of stock solution added to volumetric flask Final volume diluted solution I need help with this question. I don't know what average to calculate and how to provide the calculations especially with the dilution part. Note: The concentration of NaOH is 0.1091 M.

Explanation / Answer

Calculating Average concentration of H2SO4

calculation for trial 1

Moles of NaOH used=C*V=0.1091moles/L*0.02266L=0.00247moles

Moles of H2SO4=1/2*moles of NaOH=0.00124moles

Molarity of Diluted Acid

Molarity=number of moles of acid present/volume of acid taken=0.00124moles/0.025L=0.04944M

Molarity of Original undiluted acid

moles in original sample=moles in diluted acid

M1*V1=M2*V2

M1=M2*V2/V1=(0.04944moles/L*0.1L)/0.01L=0.4944M

Calculation for Trial 2

Moles of NaOH used=C*V=0.1091moles/L*0.0218L=0.00238moles

Moles of H2SO4=1/2*moles of NaOH=0.00119moles

Molarity of Diluted Acid

Molarity=number of moles of acid present/volume of acid taken=0.00124moles/0.025L=0.04757M

Molarity of Original undiluted acid

moles in original sample=moles in diluted acid

M1*V1=M2*V2

M1=M2*V2/V1=(0.04757moles/L*0.1L)/0.01L=0.4757M

Calculation for Trial 3

Moles of NaOH used=C*V=0.1091moles/L*0.0226L=0.002466moles

Moles of H2SO4=1/2*moles of NaOH=0.00123moles

Molarity of Diluted Acid

Molarity=number of moles of acid present/volume of acid taken=0.00123moles/0.025L=0.04931M

Molarity of Original undiluted acid

moles in original sample=moles in diluted acid

M1*V1=M2*V2

M1=M2*V2/V1=(0.04931moles/L*0.1L)/0.01L=0.4931M

Average Concentration of Acid

=(trial1+trial2+trial3)/3=(0.4944M+0.4757M+0.4931M)/3=0.4877M
