Q9 / 90 · JEE Main 2024 (29 Jan Shift 2) · Chemistry

If 50 mL of 0.5M oxalic acid is required to neutralise 25 mL of NaOH solution, the amount of NaOH in 50 mL of given NaOH solution is_______g.

Correct answer: 4

Solution

50ml of 0.5 M oxalic acid is completely neutralised by 25ml of NaOH solution. 

For neutralisation reactions, N1V1=N2V2

Normality of oxalic acid = Molarity×2

⇒Noxalic acid=0.5×2=1N

50×1=25×NNaOH

For sodium hydroxide, molarity is the same as normality.

Molarity of sodium hydroxide = 2M

The number of moles of sodium hydroxide= 50×2×10-3 mol.

Hence, the mass of sodium hydroxide =50×2×10-3×40=4g

Hence, the correct answer is 4.
