Suppose an equivalent concentration of sulfuric acid were used instead of acetic acid in the experiment, and the reaction were performed in an acid resistant bag (to deal with the sulfuric acid).  Would the reaction require a larger volume of sulfuric acid, a smaller volume of sulfuric acid, or an equivalent volume of sulfuric acid? The reaction requires a larger volume of sulfuric acid. The reaction requires a smaller volume of sulfuric acid. The reaction requires the same volume of sulfuric acid. The answer cannot be determined without knowing the specific concentration of the acids.
