Answer to Question #181002 in General Chemistry for Sophia Zheng

Question

Calcium hydroxide and sulfuric acid react to produce calcium sulfate and water according to the equation:

Ca(OH)_2(aq)  +  H₂SO_4(aq)  --> CaSO_4(s)  +  2 H₂O_(l)

How many liters of 0.8 M Ca(OH)₂ are needed to produce 4.4 moles of CaSO₄?

Answer 1

Mole ratio is 1:1

$Volume =\frac{moles}{molarity}$

$Volume = \frac{4.4}{0.8} = 5.5$

Volume = 5.5L
