The formaldehyde content of a pesticide preparation was determined by weighing 0.2985 g of the liquid sample

Question:

The formaldehyde content of a pesticide preparation was determined by weighing 0.2985 g of the liquid sample into a flask containing 50.0 mL of 0.0959 M NaOH and 50 mL of 3% H2O2. Upon heating, the following reaction took place:
OH + HCHO + H,O, HCO0 + 2H,0

After cooling, the excess base was titrated with 22.71 mL of 0.053700 M H2SO4. Calculate the percentage of HCHO (30.026 g/mol) in the sample.
