Please help, Chemistry!
« on: October 03, 2010, 08:26:46 PM »
Part one:
A volume of 50.0 mL of aqueous potassium hydroxide was titrated against a standard solution of sulfuric acid. What was the molarity of the \rm KOH solution if 19.2 mL of 1.50 M H2SO4 was needed? The equation is

2KOH(aq) +H2SO4(aq) -> K2SO4 (aq)+2H2O(l)
Express the molar concentration numerically.

Part two:
Redox titrations are used to determine the amounts of oxidizing and reducing agents in solution. For example, a solution of hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, can be titrated against a solution of potassium permanganate, KMnO4. The following equation represents the reaction:

2 KMnO4(aq)+ H2O2(aq)+3 H2SO4(aq) -> O2(g)+2 MnSO4(aq)+K2SO4 (aq)+4 H2O(l)

A certain amount of hydrogen peroxide was dissolved in 100.mL of water and then titrated with 1.68 M KMnO4. How much H2O2 was dissolved if the titration required 12.8 mL of the KMnO4 solution?

Thank you for any help,
much appriciated!

How many moles of sulfuric acid did you consume during the titration?
