Answer 1

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* 10^(-3)`M HCl needed to neutralize 14.5 mL of a saturated

Answer: The volume of HCl required is 290mL, the mass of
`Ca(OH)_2` is 0.0268g, the moles of

Step-by-step explanation:

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 =
`(0.185)/(100)* 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=(0.0268g)/(74g/mol)=0.000362 mol`

Moles of
`OH^-` present =
`(2* 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}* 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (mL)}}` .....(2)

Moles of HCl = 0.000724 mol

Molarity of HCl =
`2.50* 10^(-3)`

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

`2.50* 10^(-3)mol=\frac{0.000724* 1000}{\text{Volume of solution}}\\\\\text{Volume of solution}=(0.000725* 1000)/(2.50* 10^(-3))=290mL`

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