Question #1
Potasium hydroxide (known)
volume used is 25 ml
Molarity (concentration) = 0.150 M
Moles of KOH used
0.150 × 25/1000 = 0.00375 moles
Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
volume used = 15.0 ml
unknown concentration
The equation for the reaction is
2KOH (aq)+ H2SO4(aq) = K2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)
Thus, the Mole ratio of KOH to H2SO4 is 2:1
Therefore, moles of H2SO4 used will be;
0.00375 × 1/2 = 0.001875 moles
Acid (sulfuric acid) concentration
0.001875 moles × 1000/15
= 0.125 M
Question #2
Hydrogen bromide (acid)
Volume used = 30 ml
Concentration is 0.250 M
Moles of HBr used;
0.25 × 30/1000
= 0.0075 moles
Sodium Hydroxide (base)
Volume used 20 ml
Concentration (unknown)
The equation for the reaction is
NaOH + HBr = NaBr + H2O
The mole ratio of NaOH : HBr is 1 : 1
Therefore, moles of NaOH used;
= 0.0075 moles
NaOH concentration will be
= 0.0075 moles × 1000/20
= 0.375 M
Answer:
2HClO4(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) → Ca(ClO4)2(aq) + 2H2O(l)
Perchloric acid + Calcium hydroxide → Calcium perchlorate + Water.
Explanation:
This is a neutralization reaction where the acid, Perchloric acid reacts completely with an appropriate amount of base, aqueous Calcium hydroxide to produce salt, aqueous Calcium perchlorate and water, liquid H2O only.
During this reaction, the hydrogen ion, H+, from the HClO4 is neutralized by the hydroxide ion, OH-, from the Ca(OH)2 to form the water molecule, H2O.
Thus, it is called a neutralization reaction.
