Answer:
M of HI = 5.4 M.
Explanation:
- We have the rule: at neutralization, the no. of millimoles of acid is equal to the no. of millimoles of the base.
(XMV) acid = (XMV) base.
where, X is the no. of (H) or (OH) reproducible in acid or base, respectively.
M is the molarity of the acid or base.
V is the volume of the acid or base.
(XMV) HI = (XMV) Ca(OH)₂.
For HI; X = 1, M = ??? M, V = 25.0 mL.
For Ca(OH)₂, X = 2, M = 1.5 M, V = 45.0 mL.
∴ M of HI = (XMV) Ca(OH)₂ / (XV) HI = (2)(1.5 M)(45.0 mL) / (1)(25.0 mL) = 5.4 M.
