It is thought that the acid has a concentration between 0.05 and 0.015 mol dm-3. The solid anhydrous Sodium Carbonate that is provided has to be used to find the concentration of the acid. Background Information Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) is a strong mineral acid, which is soluble in water at all concentrations. It is the most widely used chemical. Principal uses include fertilizer manufacturing, ore processing, chemical synthesis, wastewater processing and oil refining. The hydration reaction of Sulphuric acid is highly exothermic. If water is added to the concentrated acid it can boil. Because the hydration of sulfuric acid is thermodynamically favorable, sulphuric acid is an excellent dehydration agent, and is used to prepare many dried fruits. Sodium Carbonate (Na2CO3) is a sodium salt of carboni acid. It is a...
