Answer: The volume of sodium bicarbonate needed is 196.6 mL
Explanation:
To calculate the volume of base, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:
[tex]n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2[/tex]
where,
[tex]n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1[/tex] are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is [tex]H_2SO_4[/tex]
[tex]n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2[/tex] are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is [tex]NaHCO_3[/tex]
We are given:
[tex]n_1=2\\M_1=1.9M\\V_1=98.3mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=1.9M\\V_2=?mL[/tex]
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]2\times 1.9\times 98.3=1\times 0.19\times V_2\\\\V_2=\frac{2\times 1.9\times 98.3}{1\times 1.9}=196.6mL[/tex]
Hence, the volume of sodium bicarbonate needed is 196.6 mL
