Can anyone help with these chemistry questions?

1. Calculate the mass of Na2CO310H2O in grams needed to prepare 200 cm3 of a solution which has a concentration of 0.25 mol dm-3.

2. Calculate the volume in cm3 of dilute sulphuric acid required to react completely with 15 cm3 of sodium hydroxide solution of concentration 3.5 mol dm-3. The concentration of dilute sulphuric acid used for the reaction is 1.5 mol dm-3.
Moles Na2CO310 H2O = 0.200 dm^3 x 0.25 mol/dm^3 = 0.0500

mass Na2CO3*10 H2O= 0.0500 x 286.19 g/mol=14.3 g



moles NaOH = 0.015 dm^3 x 3.5 mol/dm^3 = 0.0525



the balanced equation is



2 NaOH H2SO4 = Na2SO4 2 H2O



moles H2SO4 required = 0.0525/2=0.0263



Volume H2SO4 = 0.0263 mol/ 1.5 mol/dm^3 = 0.0175 dm^3 =
