Question:

A metallurgical firm needs to dispose of 2.74 × 103 gallons of waste sulfuric acid whose concentration has been determined to be 1.53 M. Environmental regulations require them to neutralize the waste before releasing the wastewater, and they choose to do so with slaked lime, Ca(OH)2(s). The neutralization reaction is

HSO4(aq) + Ca(OH)2(s) CaSO4(s) + 2 HO(l)


If the slaked lime costs $0.52 per pound, how much will it cost to neutralize the waste sulfuric acid?
