The volume of the 0.279 M Ca(OH)₂ solution required to neutralize 24.5 mL of 0.390 M H₃PO₄ is 51.4 mL
<h3>Balanced equation </h3>
2H₃PO₄ + 3Ca(OH)₂ —> Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 6H₂O
From the balanced equation above,
- The mole ratio of the acid, H₃PO₄ (nA) = 2
- The mole ratio of the base, Ca(OH)₂ (nB) = 3
<h3>How to determine the volume of Ca(OH)₂ </h3>
- Molarity of acid, H₃PO₄ (Ma) = 0.390 M
- Volume of acid, H₃PO₄ (Va) = 24.5 mL
- Molarity of base, Ca(OH)₂ (Mb) = 0.279 M
- Volume of base, Ca(OH)₂ (Vb) =?
MaVa / MbVb = nA / nB
(0.39 × 24.5) / (0.279 × Vb) = 2/3
9.555 / (0.279 × Vb) = 2/3
Cross multiply
2 × 0.279 × Vb = 9.555 × 3
0.558 × Vb = 28.665
Divide both side by 0.558
Vb = 28.665 / 0.558
Vb = 51.4 mL
Thus, the volume of the Ca(OH)₂ solution needed is 51.4 mL

Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
On a certain day, our teacher came to class with a container having some salt, some sand and a few pieces of iron in it. She was about to introduce a lesson on separation of mixtures.
Then she held a large bar magnet close to the mixture and shook it, the pieces of iron were attracted by the magnet and separated from the mixture.
Next, she poured some water into the mixture and the salt dissolved. She got a filter paper and separated the solution from the sand.
Then she heated the solution to dryness in an open crucible and the salt was recovered.
This is the answer (C): Co2
