20 cm3 of 1 M H\(_2\)SO\(_4\) is mixed 20 cm\(^3\) of 1 M NaOH. The resulting solution is?

A.

acidic with a molarity of 0.50 M H2SO4

B.

acidic with a molarity of 0.25 H2SO4

C.

neutral

D.

alkaline with a molarity of 0.25 M NaOH

E.

alkaline with a molarity of 0.50 M NaOH

Correct answer is A

The balanced equation for the reaction is:

\(2NaOH + H_2 SO_4 \to Na_2 SO_4 + 2H_2 O\)

\(\therefore 1M H_2 SO_4 \to 2M NaOH\)

\(1M NaOH \to 0.5M H_2 SO_4\)

The resulting solution is Acidic with 0.5M H\(_2\)SO\(_4\).
