Question
**Determining the Concentration of Sulfuric Acid through Titration**

Suppose you are titrating a sulfuric acid solution of unknown concentration with a sodium hydroxide solution according to the equation:

\[ \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 + 2\text{NaOH} \longrightarrow 2\text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{Na}_2\text{SO}_4 \]

If you require 29.66 mL of 0.605 M \(\text{NaOH}\) solution to titrate 195.9 mL of \(\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4\) solution, what is the concentration of the \(\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4\) solution?

Type answer:

### Titrating Vinegar (Acetic Acid Solution)

**Problem:**
Suppose you are titrating vinegar, which is an acetic acid solution of unknown concentration, with a sodium hydroxide solution according to the equation:

\[ \text{HC}_2\text{H}_3\text{O}_2 + \text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{NaC}_2\text{H}_3\text{O}_2 \]

If you require 33.45 mL of 0.1408 M NaOH solution to titrate 10.0 mL of HC₂H₃O₂ solution, what is the molar concentration of acetic acid in the vinegar?

**Type answer:**

[Answer text box for students to input their calculation]

### Explanation:
To find the molar concentration of acetic acid (\( \text{HC}_2\text{H}_3\text{O}_2 \)) in the vinegar, you can use the following steps:

1. **Write the balanced chemical equation**:
\[ \text{HC}_2\text{H}_3\text{O}_2 + \text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{NaC}_2\text{H}_3\text{O}_2 \]
   
2. **Convert the volume of NaOH solution used in the titration to liters**:
\[ 33.45 \, \text{mL} = 0.03345 \, \text{L} \]

3. **Calculate the moles of NaOH used**:
\[ \text{moles of NaOH} = \text{Molarity} \times \text{Volume} \]
\[ = 0.1408 \, \text{M} \times 0.03345 \, \text{L} \]
\[ = 0.00471116 \, \text{moles of NaOH} \]

4. **Use the stoichiometry of the balanced equation to determine the moles of acetic acid**:
   
   From the balanced equation, we know that 1 mole of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of HC₂H₃O₂.
\[ \text{moles of HC}_2\text{H}_3
