If 25.0 mL of 0.451 M NaOH solution is titrated with 0.253 M H2SO4, the flask at the endpoint will contain (besides the indicator phenolphthalein) as the principal components:

A) dissolved sodium sulfate, sulfuric acid, and water
B) precipitated sodium sulfate and water
C) dissolved sodium sulfate and water
D) sodium hydroxide, sodium sulfate, and water
E) sodium hydroxide, sulfuric acid, and water

Respuesta :

Answer: C) dissolved sodium sulfate and water

Explanation: When the indicator changes its color, it indicates that the endpoint of the titration has been reached out and that a complete reaction of neutralization has been met between all the molecules of NaOH and all the molecules of H2SO4, therefore, the final products will be only dissolved sodium sulfate and water.
