The mass of Calcium required to complete this reaction is 4.008 g.
- Law of conservation of mass states that In a closed system, mass cannot be produced or destroyed, but it can be changed from one form to another.
- The mass of the chemical constituents before a chemical reaction is equal to the mass of the constituents after the reaction.
- In several disciplines, including chemistry, mechanics, and fluid dynamics, the idea of mass conservation is widely applied.
In the given reaction mass of product after completion of reaction is 13.614 g that means total mass of constituents before reaction should also be 13.614.
So,
mass of Ca + mass of O₂ + mass of S = mass of CaSO4
Ca + 6.400 g + 3.206 g = 13.614 g
mass of Ca = 13.614 - 9.606 = 4.008 g
Therefore, by law of conservation of mass 4.008 g of Ca is required for the completion of the reaction.
