In the following balanced neutralization reaction equation, how many moles of ca(oh)2 are required to completely neutralize 1.2 moles of hi? 2hi + ca(oh)2 → cai2 + 2h2o

Answer : The number of moles of required are, 0.6 mole.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of HI = 1.2 moles

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 moles of react with 1 mole of

So, 1.2 moles of react with mole of

Therefore, the number of moles of required are, 0.6 mole.
