60.0 mL of 0.100 M Ca(OH)2 solution is mixed with 50.0 mL of 0.100 M HNO3. Calculate the volume of 0.100 M H2SO4 needed to neutralize the resulting mixture.

Answer:

Explanation:

2HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 ---> Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O

moles HNO3---> (0.2545 mol/L) (0.04587 L) = 0.011674 mol

use the 2 : 1 molar ratio of HNO3 to Ca(OH)2:

2 is to 1 as 0.011674 mol is to x

x = 0.005837 mol of Ca(OH)2

molarity of Ca(OH)2 ---> 0.005837 mol / 0.02162 L = 0.2700 M (to four sig figs)

Answer:

The volume of 0.100 M H₂SO₄ needed to neutralize the resulting mixture containing an excess of 10 ml of 0.100 M Ca(OH)₂  is 10 ml of 0.100 M H₂SO₄ .

Explanation:

Ca(OH)₂ + HNO₃ = Ca(NO₃)₂ + H₂O

From the above reaction;

1 mole of Ca(OH)₂ is required to neutralize 1 mole of HNO₃ also

0.1 mole of Ca(OH)₂ will be required to neutralize 0.1 mole of HNO₃

Since there is 60 ml of 0.100 M Ca(OH)₂ and  50.0 mL of 0.100 M HNO₃, then on completion of neutralization, there will be 10 ml of 0.100 M Ca(OH)₂ left to be consumed

When H₂SO₄ is added to the solution, the reaction will be as follows;

Ca(OH)₂ + H₂SO₄ → CaSO₄ + H₂O

Therefore we have;

1 mole of  H₂SO₄ is required to completely react with 1 mole of Ca(OH)₂

Hence,

0.1 mole of  H₂SO₄ will completely react with 0.1 mole of Ca(OH)₂

Therefore the volume of 0.100 M H₂SO₄  required to neutralize  the resulting mixture containing an excess of 10 ml of 0.100 M Ca(OH)₂  is 10 ml
