Question

A solution contains \(9.8 \, \text{g}\) of \(H_2SO_4\). How much NaOH is required to completely neutralize it? (molar mass of NaOH = \(40 \, \text{g mol}^{-1}\))

• A. \(0.4 \, \text{g} \)
• B. \(0.2 \, \text{g} \)
• C. \(8 \, \text{g} \)
• D. \(1.2 \, \text{g} \)
• E. \(1.6 \, \text{g} \)

Hint:

Always balance the chemical equation first, then apply mole ratio. For diprotic acids like \(H_2SO_4\), 1 mole reacts with 2 moles of base.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
