Calculation

Na2CO3(aq)+H2SO4(aq)Na2SO4(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g)

Since Na2CO3: H2SO4 = 1:1

No of mol in H2SO4 = 0.1 x (25/1000)

                   = 2.5 x 10-3 mol

Then the concentration of H2SO4 = (2.5 x 10-3 ) / (4.63/1000)  = 0.5399M

Discussion

During the experiment ,there may be some possible error and some of them can be minimized. First, the water inside the burrete may affect the concentration of sulphuric acid. To prevent this , we need to rinse the burrete with sulphuric acid. Also , we need to make sure the top of burrete is filled of s ...
