Preparation of 1N H2SO4
« on: February 03, 2008, 08:36:52 AM »
hi all,

would like to know how should I prepare 1N of H2SO4 from 98% concentrated H2SO4? Thanks very much!

Welcome to the forum  :)

1 N H2SO4 = 0.5 M H2SO4

Procedure to prepare 1 L:

=> You need 0.5 moles H2SO4 for 1 L of the solution
=> Calculate the mass for 0.5 moles H2SO4
=> Consider the concentration (98 %)
=> Prepare ~ 900 ml water and then add slowly H2SO4 (exothermic reaction!)
=> Fill up to 1 L

You're absolutely right Borek. If somebody talks about 1N H2SO4 without any further descriptions, 1 N commonly refers to the H+ concentration. However one should always use molarity nowadays to avoid ambiguities.

hi all,

thx for the help. However, Borak & Kryolith, my I check with both of you the meaning of 1N against wat? Please pardon me if I sound silly, however, isn't 1N H2SO4 naturally refers to 0.5M? Pls advise.

Thx again! :)

1 N H2SO4 is 0.5 M regarding H+ and 1 M regarding SO42-

thx all for your help.

another silly question, I know that I should weigh 49g of H2SO4 to make up 1L of 1N H2SO4 solution (0.5M). How do I convert this weight into volume? Do I make use of the density, 1.84g/ml?

Thx much

I think one of the first things you need to learn as a chemist  is that uniformity is a myth.  99% of the work I do does not involve SI units or standard terms.

You learn to live with it .. eventually  :-\

1.84 g/cm3 = 1.84 kg/dm3 = 1.84 Mg/m3
hence, in fact, this unit of density is the SI unit
