A 25.0 mL sample of sulfuric acid is completely neutralized by 32.8 mL of 0.116 mol/L ammonia solution. Ammonium sulfate is formed What is the concentration of the sulfuric acid?

Approx. 0.08molL1 with respect to sulfuric acid.

Explanation:

We need (i) a stroichiometric equation:

H2SO4(aq)+2NH3(aq)2NH+4+SO24

At the 2nd equivalence point, the solution will stoichiometric in ammonium sulfate. An appropriate indicator must be used.

And (ii) a calculation,

[H2SO4]=12×32.8×103L×0.116molL125.0×103L

=??molL1

Why did we use a 12 factor in the calculation?
