59.6 ml of 0.303 m hydrobromic acid is added to 29.0 ml of calcium hydroxide, and the resulting solution is found to be acidic. 21.2 ml of 0.186 m barium hydroxide is required to reach neutrality. what is the molarity of the original calcium hydroxide solution?

The molarity of the original calcium hydroxide solution will be 0.176 molar.

First, we will write the chemical equations for both reactions:

  HBr + Ca(OH)₂  →  H₂O + CaBr₂

  HBr + Ba(OH)₂  →   H₂O + BaBr₂

Balance the chemical equations

  2HBr + Ca(OH)₂  →  2H₂O + CaBr₂

  2HBr + Ba(OH)₂  →  2H₂O + BaBr₂

Concentration of hydrobromic acid (HBr) = 59.6 ml x 0.303 M / 1000

Concentration of hydrobromic acid (HBr) = 0.0181 mol

Hence

  0.5 equivalent Ca or Ba hydroxide = 0.0181 mol x 0.5 mol

  0.5 equivalent Ca or Ba hydroxide = 0.00905 Moles

  Concentration of Barium hydroxide = 21.2 ml x 0.186 / 1000

  Concentration of Barium hydroxide = 0.00394 mol

  Concentration of Calcium hydroxide = 0.00905 - 0.00394

  Concentration of Calcium hydroxide = 0.00511 mol

Molar solution of Calcium hydroxide = 0.00511 x 1000 / 29.0 ml

Molar solution of Calcium hydroxide = 0.176 molar calcium hydroxide solution is needed.
