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.

Since the question is incomplete, the table has been searched in order to comply with the question.
Based on the table that I have provided, the order of increasing depth from shallowest to deepest are the following; A,B,C,D,E. The reason that this is the order to be chosen because the one responsible for making water dense is the salt that is on the water and by that, the base is likely to sink whereas the ones with less salt won’t be as thick compared those who have much salt and will skim on its top.
