![**Chemistry Question: Neutralization Reaction Calculation**
---
**Question:**
According to the following reaction, how many moles of LiOH would be required to completely neutralize 6.0 moles of H₂CO₃?
\[ \text{H}_2\text{CO}_3 + 2\text{LiOH} \rightarrow 2\text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{Li}_2\text{CO}_3 \]
Your answer should be rounded to one decimal place. Enter your answer as a number without units.
---
**Explanation of Reaction:**
The given reaction is a neutralization reaction where lithium hydroxide (LiOH) reacts with carbonic acid (H₂CO₃) to produce water (H₂O) and lithium carbonate (Li₂CO₃).
Based on the balanced chemical equation, one mole of H₂CO₃ requires 2 moles of LiOH to be completely neutralized.
To determine how many moles of LiOH are needed to neutralize 6.0 moles of H₂CO₃, we use the stoichiometric ratio from the equation:
1 mole of H₂CO₃ : 2 moles of LiOH
Therefore, for 6.0 moles of H₂CO₃, the required moles of LiOH would be:
6.0 moles of H₂CO₃ * 2 = 12.0 moles of LiOH
Instruction to the Student:
Enter your answer as **12.0** without including any units.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F8b4f90da-7123-4ebc-a1f1-23aba3b1d984%2F5fdccf9e-0e30-48e2-9942-45830fcd73c2%2Fv0ztnv_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
