It has an incredibly high pH, and anything above 7 on the pH scale is a base

Explanation:

Bases are those substance which releases hydroxide ions in aqueous solution when dissolved in water.

$BOH(aq)\rightarrow B^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)$

As we can see that in formula of aluminium hydroxide , there are 3 hydroxide ions attached to single aluminum ion. So, when we will dissolve the aluminum hydroxide in water it will give aluminum ions and hydroxide ions in its solution.

$Al(OH)_3(aq)\rightarrow Al^{3+}(aq)+3OH^-(aq)$

Answer: 0.0237 g of calcium carbonate would be required to neutralize the given amount of HCl

Explanation:

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration present in the solution

$pH=-\log [H^+]$ .....(1)

Given value of pH = 1.5

Putting values in equation 1:

$1.5=-\log[H^+]$

$[H^+]=10^{(-1.5)}=0.0316M$

Molarity is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per liter of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L. The formula used to calculate molarity:

$\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{\text{Number of moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (mL)}}$ .....(2)

We are given:

Volume of solution = 15.0 mL

Molarity of HCl = 0.0316 M

Putting values in equation 2:

$0.0316=\frac{\text{Moles of HCl}\times 1000}{15.0}\\\\\text{Moles of HCl}=\frac{0.0316\times 15.0}{1000}=4.74\times 10^{-4}mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of HCl and calcium carbonate follows:

$2HCl+CaCO_3\rightarrow H_2CO_3+CaCl_2$

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of HCl reacts with 1 mole of calcium carbonate

So, $4.74\times 10^{-4}mol$ of HCl will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 4.74\times 10^{-4}=2.37\times 10^{-4}mol$ of calcium carbonate

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass.

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of calcium carbonate = $2.37\times 10^{-4}mol$

Molar mass of calcium carbonate = 100.01 g/mol

Putting values in the above equation:

$\text{Mass of }CaCO_3=(2.37\times 10^{-4}mol)\times 100.01g/mol\\\\\text{Mass of }CaCO_3=0.0237g$

Hence, 0.0237 g of calcium carbonate would be required to neutralize the given amount of HCl
