What volume of 0.378 M hydroiodic acid (HI) is required to neutralize 21.6 mL of 0.520 M barium hydroxide Ba(OH)2?
Ba(OH)2 + 2HI --> BaI2 + 2H2O
moles Ba(OH)2 present = 0.520 M x 21.6 ml = 11.232 mmol
moles HI needed = 2 x 11.232 mmol = 22.464 mmol
Volume HI solution needed for complete beutralization of Ba(OH)2 = 11.464 mmol/0.378 M
= 59.43 ml
