    0.37M

    Explanation:

    Since sulfuric acid, H₂SO₄, is a diprotic acid and potassum hydroxide, KOH, contains one OH⁻ in the formula, the number of moles of potassium hydroxide must be twice the number of moles of sulfuric acid.

    1. Determine the number of moles of KOH in 47mL of 0.39M potassium hydroxide solution

    number of moles = molarity * volume in liters number of moles = 0.39M * 47mL * 1liter/1,000 mL = 0.1833mol

    2. Determine the number of moles of sulfuric acid needed

    number of moles of H₂SO₄ = number of moles of KOH/2 = 0.1833/2 = 0.009165mol

    3. Determine the concentration that contains 0.009165 mol in 25mL of the acid.

    Molarity = number of moles / volume in liters M = 0.009165mol / (25mL) * (1,000mL/liter) = 0.3666M

    Round to two significant figures: 0.37M
