This document presents a step-by-step calculation to determine the concentration of a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution after neutralizing a given volume of oxalic acid (C2H2O4). Initially, 2.35 g of oxalic acid was dissolved in 250 cm³ of water, and a portion of this solution (19.6 cm³) was neutralized by 25 cm³ of NaOH. Using stoichiometric relationships from the balanced chemical equation, the moles of oxalic acid and NaOH are calculated, leading to the determination of the NaOH concentration in mol/dm³.
