Imagine:for b (ii) ms states that remaining is 10.8/1000 * 0.5 but isnt the amount reacted equal to that ???!
100 units of NaOH is reacted with SO2 and HCl. 90 units was consumed in this reaction. 10 units of NaOH remains in the solution.
This is called EXCESS NaOH was reacted with SO2 and HCl.
Now in real life we don't know that 90 units of NaOH reacted with SO2 and HCl. What we know is that we started with 100 units.
By doing titration with the remaining solution soup, we can know that 10units of NaOH REMAINED in the solution. This is the excess amount.
Using the above two information, we can do the magic: 100-10= 90 units of NaOH.
