H2SO4 (aq) + 2KOH ==> K2SO4 (aq) + 2H2O(l) ... balanced equation
-Calculate moles of H2SO4 used
12.5 ml x 1 L / 1000 ml x 0.25 mol /L = 0.003125 mols H2SO4 used
-Calculate moles of KOH needed to neutralize 0.003125 moles of H2SO4(use stoichiometry of balanced eq.)
0.003125 mols H2SO4 x 2 mol KOH / 1 mol H2SO4 = 0.00625 mols KOH
-Calculate the volume of KOH containing 0.00625 moles
0.00625 mols KOH x 1 L / 0.150 mols = 0.04167 L = 41.7 mls of KOH used in neutralization
