Titration of a 15.0 mL solution of KOH requires 17.0 mL of 0.0250 M H2SO4 solution.
What is the molarity of the KOH solution?
M=?
The reaction between sulphuric acid and potassium hydroxide is an example of neutralisation reaction between a base and an acid to give salt and water. The reaction is:
H2SO4 + KOH K2SO4 + H2O
For any titration we know that:
M1V1 = M2V2,
Here, M1 = molarity of KOH = ?, V1 = volume of KOH = 15 mL,
M2 = molarity of sulphuric acid = 0.0250, V2 = volume of sulphuric acid = 17 mL.
by putting the values, we get the value of M1 = 0.0283M.
Therefore, the molarity of KOH is 0.0283M
