The volume of the 0.279 M Ca(OH)₂ solution required to neutralize 24.5 mL of 0.390 M H₃PO₄ is 51.4 mL

Balanced equation

2H₃PO₄ + 3Ca(OH)₂ —> Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 6H₂O

From the balanced equation above,

  • The mole ratio of the acid, H₃PO₄ (nA) = 2
  • The mole ratio of the base, Ca(OH)₂ (nB) = 3

How to determine the volume of Ca(OH)₂

  • Molarity of acid, H₃PO₄ (Ma) = 0.390 M
  • Volume of acid, H₃PO₄ (Va) = 24.5 mL
  • Molarity of base, Ca(OH)₂ (Mb) = 0.279 M
  • Volume of base, Ca(OH)₂ (Vb) =?

MaVa / MbVb = nA / nB

(0.39 × 24.5) / (0.279 × Vb) = 2/3

9.555 / (0.279 × Vb) = 2/3

Cross multiply

2 × 0.279 × Vb = 9.555 × 3

0.558 × Vb = 28.665

Divide both side by 0.558

Vb = 28.665 / 0.558

Vb = 51.4 mL

Thus, the volume of the Ca(OH)₂ solution needed is 51.4 mL
