How many moles of Calcium Oxide are needed to produce 4 moles of Calcium Hydroxide?
1 answer:
Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 2 moles of CaO are required to react with 2 moles of Ca(OH)₂.
<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>In first place, the balanced reaction is:
CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂
By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:
- CaO: 1 mole
- H₂O: 1 mole
- Ca(OH)₂: 1 mole
The following rule of three can be applied: If by stoichiometric reaction 1 mole of Ca(OH)₂ is produced by 1 mole of CaO, 2 moles of Ca(OH)₂ are produced by how many moles of CaO?
moles of CaO= 2 moles
Finally, 2 moles of CaO are required to react with 2 moles of Ca(OH)₂.

Answer:
Approximately 10,5
Explanation:
The question is not really very specific, because it would need the percentages of those isotopes in the nature. As they are not shown, it should be the median of those two numbers.
atomic weight ≈ = 10,5
If you check a periodic table, you'll see it's actually 10,8, but that's because of the thing I told you at first (percentages missing).
Hope I could help.
