Respuesta :
the balanced equation for the neutralisation reaction is as follows
Ca(OH)₂ + H₂SO₄ ---> CaSO₄ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry of Ca(OH)₂ to H₂SO₄ is 1:1
equivalent number of acid reacts with base
number of H₂SO₄ mol reacting - 2 mol
according to molar ratio of 1:1
number of Ca(OH)₂ mol = number of H₂SO₄ moles
therefore number of Ca(OH)₂ moles required - 2 mol
Ca(OH)₂ + H₂SO₄ ---> CaSO₄ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry of Ca(OH)₂ to H₂SO₄ is 1:1
equivalent number of acid reacts with base
number of H₂SO₄ mol reacting - 2 mol
according to molar ratio of 1:1
number of Ca(OH)₂ mol = number of H₂SO₄ moles
therefore number of Ca(OH)₂ moles required - 2 mol
To neutralize the 2 moles of H₂SO₄, 2 moles of Ca(OH)₂ are needed.
What is neutralization reaction?
Neutralization reactions are those reactions in which acid and base react with each other to neutralize the solution.
Neutralization reaction for Ca(OH)₂ and H₂SO₄ are written as follow:
Ca(OH)₂ + H₂SO₄ → CaSO₄ + 2H₂O
According to the stoichiometry of the above reaction it is clear that 1:1 moles or equal moles of Ca(OH)₂ & H₂SO₄ react to neutralize each other.
Hence, 2 moles of calcium hydroxide are needed to neutralize 2 moles of sulfuric acid.
