You need to be careful how you write questions; I think you meant that 10 mL H2SO4 was diluted TO 250 mL with DW. I'll assume that's what you meant.
2NaOH + H2SO4 ==> Na2SO4 + 2H2O
mols NaOH = M x L = 0.1 x 0.01 = 0.001.
mols H2SO4 in that 25 mL aliquot = 1/2 x 0.001 = 0.0005 (because you see 2 mol NaOH = 1 mol H2SO4).
Since that 25 mL aliquot was 1/10 of the 250 mL solution, the 0.0005 x 10 must be the amount inf the 250 mL flask. And that 0.005 mols H2SO4 must be what's in the 10 mL solution you started with. Now
M H2SO4 = mols H2SO4/L H2SO4 = 0.005/0.01 = ? Check my calculations. Easy to get mixed up when typing so many zeros. I like to work in millimols to avoid that problem; i.e.,
mmols NaOH = mL x M = 10 x 0.1 = 1
mmols H2SO4 = 1/2 that or 0.5 and that's the amount in the 25 mL aliquot. That makes 5 mmols (10x that) in the 10 mL.
Then M = mmols/mL = 5/10 = 0.5. I got the same answer. How about that.
The volume of 10 ml of H2SO4 solution was diluted
250 ml with distilled water. This resulting solution, 25 ml were neutralized by 10 ml of 0.1 mol/L solution of NaOH. calculate the Molarity of sulfuric acid.
