First part is polar, second part is non-polar. Use the saying "like dissolves like". Substances that are alike in polarity are more likely to dissolve one another.
Answer:
22.22 g
Explanation:
The balanced reaction equation is;
Ca(s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl2(aq) + H2(g)
Number of moles of calcium reacted = 8.02g/40.1g/mol = 0.2 moles of Calcium
From the reaction equation;
1 mole of Ca yields 1 mole of CaCl2
Hence 0.2 moles of Ca also yields 0.2 moles of CaCl2
Mass of calcium chloride produced = number of moles * molar mass
Mass of calcium chloride = 0.2 moles of CaCl2 * 111.1g/mol = 22.22 g
The formula of citric acid is:

HO - C - CH2CO2H

C - CH2 CO2H
I bolded the 4 hydrogens that can be subsituted by sodium.
Three of those hydrogens belong to carboxyl group (- CO2H) and one to a hydroxyl group (- OH).
You need to take into account that 4 H will form 2 H2 molecules.
So, the answer is that 2 moles of molecules will be formed from 1 mole of citric acid molecules.
