a) saturated with CaCO3, because when maximum solute gets dissolve to form precipitate as when solute is saturated with solvent and then precipitates hence the supernatant is saturated with CaCO3.

Explanation:

In double displacement reaction two ionizable compounds exchange their cation or anion forming an insoluble compound that is precipitate. The supernatant will be the solvent and dissolved solute.

We know that precipitation is formed when solubility of the compound exceeds to that of other.

The solubility occurs when it exceeds the saturation in the solution.

So, the precipitate has overcome the saturation in solvent, the resulting supernatant is saturated with CaCO3 or the solute.

1.8 mol HCl and 3.3 mol NaOH react accord- ing to the equation HCl + NaOH −→ NaCl + H2O . Calculate the amount in moles of NaCl
ollegr [7]

Answer:

1.8 moles of NaCl must be produced.

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O

<em>1 mol of HCl reacts with 1 mol of NaOH to produce 1mol of NaCl</em>

<em />

To solve this question we must find, as first, the <em>limiting reactant:</em>

<em />

1.8 moles of HCl will need 1.8 moles of NaOH for a complete reaction (Ratio of reaction 1:1). As there are 3.3 moles of NaOH,

<em>HCl is limiting reactant</em>

<em />

When the 1.8 moles of HCl react completely,

1.8 moles of NaCl must be produced because 1 mole of HCl produce 1 mole of NaCl
