100.0 mL of Ca(OH)2 solution is titrated with 5.00 x 10–2 M HBr. It requires 36.5 mL of the acid solution for neutralization. What is the number of moles of HBr used, and the concentration of the Ca(OH)2 solution, respectively?

The number of moles HBr = 0.001825

The concentration of Ca(OH)2 = 0.009125 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of the Ca(OH)2 = 100.0 mL = 0.100 L

Molarity of HBr = 5.00 * 10^-2 M

Volume of HBR = 36.5 mL = 0.0365 L

Step 2: The balanced equation

Ca(OH)2 + 2HBr → CaBr2 + 2H2O

Step 3: Calculate molarity of Ca(OH) 2

b*Va* Ca = a * Vb*Cb

⇒with b = the coefficient of HBr = 2

⇒with Va = the volume of Ca(OH)2 = 0.100 L

⇒with ca = the concentration of Ca(OH)2 = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with a = the coefficient of Ca(OH)2 = 1

⇒with Vb = the volume of HBr = 0.0365 L

⇒with Cb = the concentration of HBr = 5.00 * 10^-2 = 0.05 M

2 * 0.100 * Ca = 1 * 0.0365 * 0.05

Ca = (0.0365*0.05) / 0.200

Ca = 0.009125 M

Step 4: Calculate moles HBr

Moles HBr = concentration HBr * volume HBr

Moles HBr = 0.05 M * 0.0365 L

Moles HBr = 0.001825 moles

water   molecules stay close to each other through cohesion, the collective action of hydrogen bonds between water molecules. cohesion plants draw water upwards from the root through the stem's transport tubes (xylem) to the leaf. this transport occurs even in large trees and against gravity. transpiration, evaporation of water from plant leaves, creates a tension on water molecules being pulled up from the stem and roots.

water also has high (the attraction of one substance to another) properties because of its polar nature. adhesion of water molecules to plant cell walls counteract gravity while water is transported from roots to leaves.

water exhibits a very high surface tension when compared to other liquids. surface tension is a property of a liquid that holds the surface together and allows it to resist an external force. by capillary action, the water forms concave menisci inside the pores. the high surface tension of water pulls the concavity outwards, generating enough force to lift water from the roots to the leaves of plants.

thus, cohesion, along with adhesion and surface tension creates a capillary action that keeps water molecules interacting and moving through the plants out to the leaf cells.

therefore, option d) is the correct answer.
