Using 50 cm\(^3\) of 1 M potassium hydroxide and 100 cm\(^3\) of 1 M tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid, calculate the respective volumes in cm\(^3\) of base and acid that would be required to produce the maximum amount of potassium tetraoxosulphate (IV) [K = 39, S = 32, O = 16, H = 1]

  • A. 50, 50
  • B. 25, 50
  • C. 50, 25
  • D. 25, 25

Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

First, let's write a balanced equation for the chemical reaction:

                                                  2KOH   +   H\(_2\)SO\(_4\)   →   K\(_2\)SO\(_4\)   +   2H\(_2\)O

Reacting ratio:                           2moles      :   1 mole                         1 mole

Reacting Volume:                     50cm\(^3\)  :  100cm\(^3\)

Actual volume that reacted:  50cm\(^3\)  :   25cm\(^3\)

Residual :                                   0cm\(^3\)   :   75cm\(^3\) 

 

Volume of base (KOH) = 50 cm\(^3\)

Volume of acid (H\(_2\)SO\(_4\)) = 25 cm\(^3\)
