Question List (4 items) (Drag and drop into the appropriate area) Find the volume of HCl that will neutralize the base. Find the

expeople1 [14]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

The solubility of slaked lime, $Ca(OH)_2$ , in water is 0.185 g/100 ml. You will need to calculate the volume of $2.50\times 10^{-3}$ M HCl needed to neutralize 14.5 mL of a saturated

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of HCl required is 290mL, the mass of $Ca(OH)_2$ is 0.0268g, the moles of

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given values:

Solubility of $Ca(OH)_2$ = 0.185 g/100 mL

Volume of $Ca(OH)_2$ = 14.5 mL

Using unitary method:

In 100 mL, the mass of $Ca(OH)_2$ present is 0.185 g

So, in 14.5mL. the mass of $Ca(OH)_2$ present will be = $\frac{0.185}{100}\times 14.5=0.0268g$

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

The equation used is:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ......(1)

Given mass of $Ca(OH)_2$ = 0.0268 g

Molar mass of $Ca(OH)_2$ = 74 g/mol

Plugging values in equation 1:

$\text{Moles of }Ca(OH)_2=\frac{0.0268g}{74g/mol}=0.000362 mol$

Moles of $OH^-$ present = $(2\times 0.000362)=0.000724mol$

The chemical equation for the neutralization of calcium hydroxide and HCl follows:

$Ca(OH)_2+2HCl\rightarrow CaCl_2+2H_2O$

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

Moles of $OH^-$ = Moles of $H^+$ = 0.000724 mol

The formula used to calculate molarity:

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

Moles of HCl = 0.000724 mol

Molarity of HCl = $2.50\times 10^{-3}$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$2.50\times 10^{-3}mol=\frac{0.000724\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution}}\\\\\text{Volume of solution}=\frac{0.000725\times 1000}{2.50\times 10^{-3}}=290mL$

Hence, the volume of HCl required is 290mL, the mass of $Ca(OH)_2$ is 0.0268g, the moles of

What kinds of elements form an ionic bond?

Vanyuwa [196]

Ionic bonds usually occur between metal and nonmetal ions. For example, sodium (Na), a metal, and chloride (Cl), a nonmetal, form an ionic bond to make NaCl. In a covalent bond, the atoms bond by sharing electrons. Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals.

The mass of an erlenmeyer flask is 85.135 g. after 10.00 ml of water is added to the flask, the mass of the flask and the water

BARSIC [14]

Subtracting the mass of (flask+water) from the empty flask gives:
95.023 g - 85.135 g = 9.888 grams of water
Dividing this by the given volume of 10.00 mL water gives:
9.888 grams of water / 10.00 mL of water = 0.9888 g/mL of water
Therefore, based on this sample, the density of water is 0.9888 g/mL, which is close to the usually accepted approximation of 1 g/mL.
