Answer to Question #181112 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 0.6 M Ca(OH)₂ are needed to produce 3.4 moles of CaSO₄?

Answer 1

Moles of CaSO4 = moles of Ca(OH)2

Moles of CaSO4 = 3.4 moles

$Volume = moles/Molarity$

= 3.4/0.60

=[5.7 ] L
