Question

. 16 moles of NaOH is required for complete neutralisation of the resultant acidic mixture. The number of moles of  used is:

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Strategy:
 The balanced neutralization requires  mole of  per acidic Proton (). Track how many protons are produced by each mole of  upon hydrolysis.

Step 1: Solve hydrolysis stoichiometry

-  mole of  provides  protons.
-  moles of  provide  protons.
Total protons per mole of .

Step 2: Calculate required moles of salt
Total NaOH used .
