You have separate aqueous solutions of NaOH and Ca(OH)₂ with the same concentrations. You wish to neutralize an aqueous solution of HCl. Which basic solution would require more volume to neutralize the acid? A) You need to know the volume and concentration of the HCl solution to answer this question. B) You need to know the concentrations of the basic solutions to answer this question. C) the NaOH solution D) You need to know the concentrations of the acid and bases and the volume of the acid to answer this question. E) the Ca(OH)₂ solution

NaOH is a monoprotic base, meaning it can neutralize one mole of HCl per mole of NaOH. Ca(OH)₂ is a diprotic base, capable of neutralizing two moles of HCl per mole of Ca(OH)₂. Therefore, for the same concentration, you would need a larger volume of NaOH solution to neutralize the same amount of HCl compared to Ca(OH)₂ solution.
