Question

The formula $H_2SO_4 + 2KOH \rightarrow K_2SO_4 + 2H_2O$ describes the reaction between sulfuric acid and potassium hydroxide. In the titration done, 20 mL of KOH with an unknown concentration is put into a flask with bromthymol blue indicator. The KOH solution was titrated with a 0.25 M $H_2SO_4$ solution. Three trials were performed and each trial yielded to an endpoint of yellow-colored solution, which is the desired endpoint. After three trials, the following readings were obtained: 15.5, 15.1, and 14.9 mL respectively. Calculate the molarity of Potassium hydroxide. (Answer must be rounded off to 2 decimal places)

In a strong acid-strong base titration, a potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution of an unknown concentration reacts with 0.105 M sulfuric acid (H2SO4) solution. a. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between KOH and H2SO4 b. Calculate the concentration (molarity) of the KOH solution, if 23.10 mL of H2SO4 acid solution reacts with 30.00 mL of KOH solution c. What is the pH of the solution at the equivalence point?

00:04 Right, the balanced chemical equation between the k -o -h and h2 -s -4.
00:08 So h -2 -so4 is reacting with the 2 mole of the potassium.
00:13 Then we are getting potassium sulfide plus 2 mole of the water.
00:18 Okay, what is the concentration for the k -o -h solution? okay, so we have to use the modality.
00:26 Okay, mole of the h2 -s -4 will be equal to mole of the k -h divided by 2 from the stretchometry of the reaction.
00:36 Most of the h2s4 will be equal to modality multiply volume.
00:41 Modarity of h2o4...
