SHOW SET-UP FOR ALL PROBLEMS (see Set-ups)

1. Calculate the volume of 7.0 M NaOH required to prepare 500. mL of 0.30 M NaOH. Record the calculated volume in the appropriate space in your experimental procedure on page 5A.4.

2. A 25.00 mL sample of 0.5000 M H2SO4 solution requires 19.26 mL of NaOH solution to titrate to a phenolphthalein end point. Balance the following unbalanced molecular equation and then write the corresponding balanced net ionic equation, NIE. Use the stoichiometric ratio from the NIE to calculate the moles of NaOH consumed in the titration.

_____H2SO4(aq) + _____NaOH(aq) ---> _____Na2SO4(aq) + _____H2O

NIE:

3. Use the moles of NaOH calculated in #2 above to calculate the molarity of the NaOH solution.
