2.50 L of 0.700 M phosphoric acid reacts with 5.25 moles of sodium hydroxide. How many moles of hydrogen ions will completely neutralize the moles of hydroxide ions present in this amount of sodium hydroxide? a) 0.583 b) 1.75 c) 3.00 d) 15.75 e) 5.25

5.25 moles of protons. Option e

Explanation:

Reaction between phosphoric acid and sodium hydroxide is neutralization.

We can also say, we have an acid base equilibrium right here:

H₃PO₄  +  3NaOH →  Na₃PO₄  +  3H₂O

Initially we have 5.25 moles of base.

We have data from the acid, to state its moles:

M = mol/L, so mol = M . L

mol = 1.75 moles of acid

If we think in the acid we know:

H₃PO₄  →  3H⁺  +  PO₄⁻³

We know that 1 mol of acid can give 3 moles of protons (hydrogen ions)

If we have 1.75 moles of acid, we may have

(1.75 . 3) /1 = 5.25 moles of protons

These moles will be neutralized by the 5.25 moles of base

H₃O⁺  +  OH⁻  ⇄  2H₂O     Kw

In a titration of a weak acid and a strong base, we have a basic pH

mechanics (greek   is that area of science concerned with the behaviour of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their environment. the scientific discipline has its origins in ancient greece with the writings of aristotle and archimedes[1][2][3] (see history of classical mechanics and timeline of classical mechanics). during the early modern period, scientists such as galileo, kepler, and newton laid the foundation for what is now known as classical mechanics. it is a branch of classical physics that deals with particles that are either at rest or are moving with velocities significantly less than the speed of light. it can also be defined as a branch of science which deals with the motion of and forces on objects. the field is yet less widely understood in terms of quantum theory.
