Answer:

43.75 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the equation of the reaction is;

2HNO3(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) ---> Ca(NO3)2(aq) + 2 H20(l)

Concentration of acid CA= 0.05 M

Concentration of base CB = 0.02 M

Volume of acid VA = 35.00ml

Volume of base VB= ???

Number of moles of acid NA= 2

Number of moles of base NB=1

From

CAVA/CBVB= NA/NB

Making VB the subject of the formula;

VB= CAVANB/CBNA

VB= 0.05 × 35 × 1/ 0.02 × 2

VB=1.75 /0.04

VB= 43.75 ml
