When performing the titration with sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), the student must consider that sulfuric acid is a diprotic acid, meaning it can donate two protons (H⁺) per molecule, which will affect the stoichiometric ratios in the titration calculations. The student will need to adjust the mole ratio between the sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide accordingly (2:1 ratio for H₂SO₄ to NaOH) when calculating the concentration based on the volume of NaOH used. Additionally, the initial concentration and volume of H₂SO₄ in the flask need to be accurately measured to ensure precise calculations of the acid's concentration.
A student sets up a titration apparatus with 25 mL of hydrochloric acid in the flask. The student preforms the titration using 0.050 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) Next, the student wants to perform a titration using sulfuric acid (H2SO4,) In three sentences, explain what the student needs to consider when performing the calculations to find the concentrations of the two acids
