Answer:
8.61 mL of the HCl solution
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
- 2HCl + Mg(OH)₂ → MgCl₂ + 2H₂O
From the given mass of Mg(OH)₂, we can calculate <u>the moles of HCl that are neutralized</u>:
- 4x10² mg = 400 mg = 0.400g
- 0.400g Mg(OH)₂ ÷ 58.32g/1mol = 6.859*10⁻³ mol Mg(OH)₂
- 6.859*10⁻³ mol Mg(OH)₂ *
3.429x10⁻³ mol HCl
Finally, to calculate the volume of an HCl solution, we need both the moles and the concentration. We can <u>calculate the concentration using the pH value</u>:
- pH = -log[H⁺]
- 1.4 = -log[H⁺]
= [H⁺]
- 0.0398 M = [H⁺] = [HCl] *Because HCl is a strong acid*
Thus, the volume is:
- 0.0398 M = 3.429x10⁻³mol HCl / Volume
- Volume = 8.616x10⁻³ L = 8.62 mL
