Solution

The correct option is B 50 mL
if you add V ml of 0.1 M H2SO4 then you are adding 0.01 moles of H2SO4.

in 50mL of 0.1 M NaOH, there are 0.005 moles of NaOH.

The chemical equation for that is :

2NaOH+H2SO4Na2SO4+2H2O.

0.0025 moles of H2SO4 will neutralize 0.005 moles of NaOH.

So from 0.01V moles of H2SO4 added in VmL there will be
0.01V- 0.0025 moles of H2SO4 left unused in the total volume of V + 50mL of solutions.

The conc. here will be 0.01V0.0025V+50×1000=0.05M.

100v2.5V+50=0.05

On solving for V, we get the value :

V = 0.05002 L

V = 50.02 mL

Hence, the correct option is B
