Equation of reaction : 2NaOH + H\(_2\)SO\(_4\) → Na\(_2\)SO\(_4\) + 2H\(_2\)O

Concentration of a base, CB = 0.5M

Volume of acid, V\(_A\) = 10cm\(^3\)

Concentration of an acid, C\(_A\) = 1.25M

Volume of base, V\(_B\) = ?

Recall:
\(\frac{C_A V_A}{C_B V_B} = \frac{n_A}{n_B}\) ... (1)
N.B: From the equation,
\(\frac{n_A}{n_B} = \frac{1}{2}\)

From (1)
\(\frac{1.25 \times 10}{0.5 \times V_B} = \frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{12.5}{0.5V_B} = \frac{1}{2}\)
25 = 0.5V\(_B\)

VB = 50.0 cm\(^3\)
