Number of moles of H2SO4 = Molarity x volume in L

                                                       = 0.253 M x (22.30/1000)L

                                                       = 0.00564 mol

The chemical reaction between H2SO4 and NaOH is as follows:

                        

    H2SO4 + 2NaOH  Na2SO4 + 2H2O

1 mole of H2SO4 reacts with 2 moles of NaOH

0.00564 mol of H2SO4 reacts with M moles of NaOH

Mole of NaOH = ( 0.00564x2) / 1

   = 0.0113 mole of NaOH

So Molarity of NaOH , M = Number of moles / volume in L

                                     = 0.0113mol / (0.025 L

                                     = 0.452 M
