A titration is carried out and 0.04dm^3 of sulphuric acid neutralises 0.08dm^3 sodium hydroxide of concentration 1mol/dm^3. Calculate the concentration of the sulphuric acid.

The first thing to do with this titration calculation is write the balanced symbol equation for the reaction. Using the knowlege that when an acid and base react a salt and water is produced we can write: H ...
