Dilute sulfuric acid and aqueous sodium hydroxide are used to make aqueous sodium sulfate,$$\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}(\mathrm{aq})$$,or aqueous sodium hydrogen sulfate,$$\mathrm{NaHSO}_{4}(\mathrm{aq})$$.The method includes use of the following apparatus.
$$25.0 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$$ of aqueous sodium hydroxide of concentration $$0.100 \mathrm{~mol} / \mathrm{dm}^{3}$$ was neutralised by $$25.0 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$$ of dilute sulfuric acid of concentration $$0.0500 \mathrm{~mol} / \mathrm{dm}^{3}$$.The equation for the reaction is shown.This is reaction $$1 .$$
$$
2 \mathrm{NaOH}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}(\mathrm{aq})+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l})\quad\quad reaction 1
$$
The same technique and the same solutions can be used to make aqueous sodium hydrogen sulfate.The equation for the reaction is shown.This is reaction $$2 .$$
$$
\mathrm{NaOH}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{NaHSO}_{4}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{I})\quad\quad reaction 2
$$
Complete the table to calculate the volume of dilute sulfuric acid that reacts with $$25.0 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$$ of aqueous sodium hydroxide in reaction 2.
