Answer:
27.6mL of LiOH 0.250M
Explanation:
The reaction of lithium hydroxide (LiOH) with chlorous acid (HClO₂) is:
LiOH + HClO₂ → LiClO₂ + H₂O
That means, 1 mole of hydroxide reacts per mole of acid
Moles of 20.0 mL = 0.0200L of 0.345M chlorous acid are:
0.0200L ₓ (0.345mol / L) = 6.90x10⁻³ moles of HClO₂
To neutralize this acid, you need to add the same number of moles of LiOH, that is 6.90x10⁻³ moles. As the LiOH contains 0.250 moles / L:
6.90x10⁻³ moles ₓ (1L / 0.250mol) = 0.0276L of LiOH =
27.6mL of LiOH 0.250M
