The amount of calcium hydroxide needed to react completely with a 100.0 g of nitric acid

The answer to your question is 58.7 g of Ca(OH)₂

Explanation:

Data

mass of Ca(OH)₂ = ?

mass of HNO₃ = 100 g

Process

1.- Write the balanced chemical reaction

              Ca(OH)₂ + 2HNO₃   ⇒   Ca(NO₃)₂  +  2H₂O

2.- Calculate the molar mass of the reactants

Ca(OH)₂  = 40 + 32 + 2 = 74 g

HNO₃ = 1 + 14 + 48 = 63 g

3.- Use proportions to calculate the mass of Ca(OH)₂

                  74 g of Ca(OH)₂ 2(63) g of HNO₃

                    x                         100 g of HNO₃

                          x = (100 x 74) / 2(63)

                          x = 7400 / 126

                         x = 58.7 g
