It would be 1 or 2 because if the number is higher than 5 you need to round up , if its lower than 5 you need to round down.
Ca(OH)₂: strong base
pOH = a . M
a = valence ( amount of OH⁻)
M = concentration
Ca(OH)₂ ⇒ Ca²⁺ + 2OH⁻ (2 valence)
so:
pOH = 2 x 0.005
pOH = 0.01
pH = 14 - 0.01 = 13.99
Answer:
M of HI = 5.4 M.
Explanation:
- We have the rule: at neutralization, the no. of millimoles of acid is equal to the no. of millimoles of the base.
<em>(XMV) acid = (XMV) base.</em>
where, X is the no. of (H) or (OH) reproducible in acid or base, respectively.
M is the molarity of the acid or base.
V is the volume of the acid or base.
<em>(XMV) HI = (XMV) Ca(OH)₂.</em>
For HI; X = 1, M = ??? M, V = 25.0 mL.
For Ca(OH)₂, X = 2, M = 1.5 M, V = 45.0 mL.
<em>∴ M of HI = (XMV) Ca(OH)₂ / (XV) HI</em> = (2)(1.5 M)(45.0 mL) / (1)(25.0 mL) = <em>5.4 M.</em>
I would think that it’s C, but try to get a second opinion as well!!
