Odin Bentley · Answer 1

The number of moles of monoprotic needed to neutralize 8 moles Ca (Oh) 2 is calculated as follows

write an example of equation for reaction

that is, Ca (OH) 2 + 2 HNo3 = Ca (NO3) 2 + 2H2O

by use of mole ratio between Ca (OH) 2 to HNO3 which is 1:2 therefore the moles of Acid = 2 x 8moles = 16moles
