The volume (in mL) of calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)₂ needed for the reaction is 19.8 mL
<h3>Balanced equation </h3>
2HCl + Ca(OH)₂ —> CaCl₂ + 2H₂O
From the balanced equation above,
- The mole ratio of the acid, HCl (nA) = 2
- The mole ratio of the base, Ca(OH)₂ (nB) = 1
<h3>How to determine the volume of Ca(OH)₂ </h3>
- Molarity of base, Ca(OH)₂ (Mb) = 1.48 M
- Volume of acid, HCl (Va) = 36 mL
- Molarity of acid, HCl (Ma) = 1.63 M
- Volume of base, Ca(OH)₂ (Vb) =?
MaVa / MbVb = nA / nB
(1.63 × 36) / (1.48 × Vb) = 2
58.68 / (1.48 × Vb) = 2
Cross multiply
2 × 1.48 × Vb = 58.68
2.96 × Vb = 58.68
Divide both side by 2.96
Vb = 58.68 / 2.96
Vb = 19.8 mL
