Chapter 10.7, Problem 3QQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For complete neutralization of $\text{0}{\text{.10 M Ca(OH)}}_{\text{2}}$ and $\text{0}{\text{.10 M HNO}}_{\text{3}}$, the molar ratios of base and acid reacts has to be chosen from the given options.

Concept Introduction:

Acid and base reacts with each other and forms salts as product.

Acid‑base pairs molecular ratio can be identified by the number of acidic hydrogens present in the formula.  If one acidic hydrogen ($\text{H}$) is present, it reacts with one hydroxyl group ($\text{OH}$).  If two acidic hydrogens are present, then it will react with two hydroxyl groups.
