We need to find (i) write a stoichiometrically balanced equation, and (ii) we need to find the molar quantities of each reagent.

Explanation:

Our basic equation is......

"Concentration"="Moles of solute"/"Volume of solution"Concentration=Moles of soluteVolume of solution.

And thus by taking a product or a quotient, we can get the number of moles or the volume of solution.

NaOH(s) + HCl(aq) rarr NaCl(aq) + H_2O(l)NaOH(s)+HCl(aq)NaCl(aq)+H2O(l)

And thus, for the first equation there is 1:1 stoichiometry. And moles of NaOHNaOH are equivalent to moles of HClHCl.

"Moles of NaOH"-=(17.0*g)/(40.0*g*mol^-1)=0.425*molMoles of NaOH17.0g40.0gmol1=0.425mol

And by the give stoichiometry, we need ONE equiv of HCl(aq)HCl(aq).

We are given 5.00*mol*L^-15.00molL1 HCl(aq)HCl(aq), and thus we solve the quotient......

(0.425*cancel(mol))/(5.00*cancel(mol*L^-1))xx10^3*mL*cancel(L^-1)=85.0*mL.

Clear?

For the second scenario, you must simply KNOW that Ag_2S (like most sulfides save those of the alkali metals) is INSOLUBLE.

2AgNO_3(aq) + Na_2S(aq) rarr Ag_2S(s)darr+2NaNO_3(aq)

The net ionic equation is simply......

2Ag^+ + S^(2-) rarr Ag_2S(s)darr

"Moles of" AgNO_3=33.0xx10^-3*Lxx0.100*mol*L^-1=
3.30xx10^-3*mol

And thus we need half an equiv of Na_2S, i.e.

(1/2xx3.3xx10^-3*mol)/(0.100*mol*L^-1)xx10^3*mL*L^-1

"under 17 mL" of the sodium sulfide solution.........
