Write the complete equation for the neutralization reactions that take place when the following water solutions are mixed. (If an acid has more than one acidic hydrogen, assume that there is enough base to remove all of them. Assume that there is enough acid to neutralize all of the basic hydroxide ions.) a. LiOH(aq) HNO2(aq) b. Co(OH)2(s) HNO3(aq) c. H3PO4(aq) KOH(aq

Answer: The neutralization reactions are given below.

Explanation:

Neutralization reaction is defined as the chemical reaction where an acid reacts with a base to produce a salt and water molecule. The general chemical reaction follows:

[tex]HX+BOH\rightarrow BX}H_2O[/tex]

For the given options:

  • Option a:  [tex]LiOH(aq.)\text{ and }HNO_2(aq.)[/tex]

The chemical equation for this reaction follows:

[tex]LiOH(aq.)+HNO_2(aq.)\rightarrow LiNO_2(aq.)+H_2O(l)[/tex]

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of lithium hydroxide reacts with 1 mole of nitrous oxide to produce  1 mole of lithium nitrite and 1 mole of water.

  • Option b:  [tex]Ca(OH)_2(aq.)\text{ and }HNO_3(aq.)[/tex]

The chemical equation for this reaction follows:

[tex]Ca(OH)_2(aq.)+HNO_3(aq.)\rightarrow Ca(NO_3)_2(aq.)+2H_2O(l)[/tex]

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of calcium hydroxide reacts with 1 mole of nitric oxide to produce 1 mole of calcium nitrate and 2 moles of water.

  • Option c:  [tex]KOH(aq.)\text{ and }H_3PO_4(aq.)[/tex]

The chemical equation for this reaction follows:

[tex]3KOH(aq.)+H_3PO_4(aq.)\rightarrow K_3PO_4(aq.)+3H_2O(l)[/tex]

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of potassium hydroxide reacts with 1 mole of phosphoric acid to produce 1 mole of potassium phosphate and 3 moles of water.

Hence, the neutralization reactions are given above.
