Answer

$V(NaOH) = 22.85ml$

Work Step by Step

The following neutralization reaction takes place: $2NaOH + H_{2}SO_{4} \rightarrow Na_{2}SO_{4} + 2H_{2}O$ The amount of sodium hydroxide required is twice the amount of sulfuric acid. Hence, $n(NaOH) = 2n(H_{2}SO_{4}) = 2c(H_{2}SO_{4})V(H_{2}SO_{4}) = 2\times 0.234\frac{mol}{dm^3}\times 0.025 dm^3 = 0.0117mol$ Given the concentration of $NaOH$ solution, we can easily obtain its volume: $V(NaOH) = \frac{n(NaOH)}{c(NaOH)} = \frac{0.0117mol}{0.512\frac{mol}{dm^3}}=0.02285dm^3=22.85ml$
