Consider the following reaction equations: 2HCl+Ca(OH)₂→CaCl₂+2H₂O. What is the volume of 0.1 moldm⁻³ HCl that would completely neutralize 25cm³ of 0.3 moldm⁻³ Ca(OH)₂?

  • A. 150cm³Correct
  • B. 75cm³
  • C. 30cm³
  • D. 25cm³

Explanation

Using CaVa/na = CbVb/nb with na=2 (HCl), nb=1 (Ca(OH)₂): Va = (0.3×25×2)/(0.1×1) = 150cm³.
