In a sample of pure calcium fluoride of mass 15.0 g, 7.70 g of calcium is present. First convert the mass into number of moles as follows:

n=\frac{m}{M}

Here, m is mass and M is molar mass.

Molar mass of Ca is 40 g/mol, putting the values,

n=\frac{7.70 g}{40 g/mol}=0.1925 mol

Similarly, molar mass of CaF_{2} is 78.07 g/mol thus, number of moles will be:

n=\frac{15.0 g}{78.07 g/mol}=0.1921 mol.

Thus, 0.1921 mol of CaF_{2} have 0.1925 mol of Ca, or 1 mole of CaF_{2} will have approximately 1 mole of Ca.

Now, mass of Ca needs to be calculated in 45.0 g of CaF_{2}. Converting mass into number of moles first,

n=\frac{45.0 g}{78.07 g/mol}=0.5764 mol

Thus, number of moles of Ca will also be 0.5764 mol, converting number of moles into mass,

m=n\times M=0.5764 mol\times 40 g/mol=23.06 g

Therefore, mass of Ca will be 23.06 g.

By the stoichiometry of this reaction if 5 mol natrium react, then 2.5 mol

So what have I done here? First, I had a balanced chemical equation (this is the important step; is it balanced?). Then I used the stoichiometry to get the molar quantity of product, and converted this molar quantity to mass. If this is not clear, I am willing to have another go
