Answer

20 ml.

Work Step by Step

1. Find the molar mass of ($NaOH$): Na: 23 O: 16 H: 1 23 + 16 + 1 = 40g/mol 2. Calculate the nº of moles in 0.2g NaOH: $mm = \frac{mass(g)}{n(moles)}$ $40 = \frac{0.2}{n(moles)}$ $n(moles) = \frac{0.2}{40}$ $n(moles) = 0.005$ 3. Because the proportion is 2 $NaOH$ for 1 $H_2SO_4$: $2NaOH + 1H_2SO_4$ $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{n(moles(H_2SO_4))}{0.005}$ $\frac{0.005}{2} = n(moles(H_2SO_4)) = 0.0025$ 4. Find how much volume is needed. $C = \frac{n(moles)}{V(L)}$ $0.125 = \frac{0.0025}{V(L)}$ $V(L) = \frac{0.0025}{0.125}$ $V(L) = 0.02L = 20ml$
