SUMMARY
The molarity of the acid sample, H2SO4, was calculated using the neutralization reaction with NaOH. It required 46.5 mL of 0.215M NaOH to neutralize 15.0 mL of the acid. The molarity of the H2SO4 solution is determined to be 0.139M. This calculation is based on the stoichiometry of the neutralization reaction and the definition of molarity.
