Answer:
6.5 mL
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced reaction
Ca(OH)₂ + 2 HNO₃ ⇒ Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2 H₂O
Step 2: Calculate the reacting moles of nitric acid
25.0 mL of 0.50 M nitric acid react.
[tex]0.0250L \times \frac{0.50mol}{L} = 0.013 mol[/tex]
Step 3: Calculate the reacting moles of calcium hydroxide
The molar ratio of Ca(OH)₂ to HNO₃ is 1:2. The reacting moles of Ca(OH)₂ are 1/2 × 0.013 mol = 6.5 × 10⁻³ mol
Step 4: Calculate the volume of calcium hydroxide
To answer this, we need the concentration of calcium hydroxide. Since the data is missing, let's suppose it is 1.0 M.
[tex]6.5 \times 10^{-3} mol \times \frac{1,000mL}{1.0mol} = 6.5 mL[/tex]
