This is a statement of the law of Definite Proportions. Basically what it says is that the proportions of mass will always be the same and can't be changed.
Answer:
27.6mL of LiOH 0.250M
Explanation:
The reaction of lithium hydroxide (LiOH) with chlorous acid (HClO₂) is:
LiOH + HClO₂ → LiClO₂ + H₂O
<em>That means, 1 mole of hydroxide reacts per mole of acid</em>
Moles of 20.0 mL = 0.0200L of 0.345M chlorous acid are:
0.0200L ₓ (0.345mol / L) = <em>6.90x10⁻³ moles of HClO₂</em>
To neutralize this acid, you need to add the same number of moles of LiOH, that is 6.90x10⁻³ moles. As the LiOH contains 0.250 moles / L:
6.90x10⁻³ moles ₓ (1L / 0.250mol) = 0.0276L of LiOH =
<h3>27.6mL of LiOH 0.250M</h3>
<span>Na (sodium) is highly electropositive. Its has 1 electron in its outermost orbit which is transferred to an electronegative atom to form an ionic bond.
It only needs to get rid of one valence electron to take part in a reaction. That's how it's highly reactive.</span>
