A tank car containing concentrated HCL (molarity 12.1) derails and spills exactly 1500 L of acid. Solid potassium hydroxide is required ot neutralize the spill.
(a) Write a balanced chemical equation.
HCl + KOH -> kCl + H2O
(b) What is the molar ratio between acid and base?
1:1
(c) How many moles of acid were spilled?
-the acid is HCl
volume = 1500 L
concentration = 12.1 mol/L
# of mol = 1500 x 12.1 = 1.82 x 10^4 mol
(d) How many moles of base are needed to neutralize the spill?
1.82 x 10^4 mol
Did I do all of the questions above correctly?
