What volume of 0.20M Ca(OH)2 will neutralize 45.0 mL of a 1M solution of HClO3?
1 Answer
Well, the
If you add
And so if you grab such a SATURATED solution, you only get
The
5.5 xx 10^(-6) = ["Ca"^(2+)]["OH"^(-)]^2 = s(2s)^2 = 4s^3
So, the solubility
s = ((5.5xx10^(-6))/4)^(1//3) = "0.011 M"
Thus, the maximum concentration you can have is
"Ca"("OH")_2(aq) + 2"HClO"_3(aq) -> 2"H"_2"O"(l) + "Ca"("ClO"_3)_2(aq)
In that volume of
"1 M" cdot "0.045 L" = "0.045 mols HClO"_3 = "0.045 mols H"^(+)
which react with
0.045 cancel("mols OH"^(-)) xx ("1 mol Ca"("OH")_2)/cancel("2 mols OH"^(-)) = "0.0225 mols Ca"("OH")_2
Therefore, in
"1 L"/(0.011 cancel"mol") xx 0.0225 cancel"mols" = color(blue)(ul"2.05 L")
It sounds absolutely absurd, but
And in this
