In this case, for the given chemical reaction, in order to compute the grams of cadmium hydroxide that would be yielded, we must first identify the limiting reactant by computing the yielded moles of that same product, by 20.0 grams of NaOH (molar mass = 40 g/mol) and by 0.750 L of the 1.00-M solution of cadmium nitrate as shown below considering the 1:2:1 mole ratios respectively:

$n_{Cd(OH)_2}^{by\ NaOH}=20.0gNaOH*\frac{1molNaOH}{40gNaOH} *\frac{1molCd(OH)_2}{2molNaOH} =0.25molCd(OH)_2\\\\n_{Cd(OH)_2}^{by\ Cd(NO_3)_2}=0.750L*1.00\frac{molCd(NO_3)_2}{L}*\frac{1molCd(OH)_2}{1molCd(NO_3)_2} =0.75molCd(OH)_2$

Thus, since 20.0 grams of NaOH yielded less of moles of cadmium hydroxide, NaOH is the limiting reactant, therefore the mass of cadmium hydroxide (molar mass = 146.4 g/mol) is:

$m_{Cd(OH)_2}=0.25molCd(OH)_2*\frac{146.4gCd(OH)_2}{1molCd(OH)_2} \\\\m_{Cd(OH)_2}=36.6 gCd(OH)_2$

Best regards.

The compound NacI is an example of a/an

maria [59]

The compound NaCI is an example of a salt. Salt is formed from a neutralization action of an acid and a base. From the type of reaction itself, we can say that the pH should be neutral or at pH 7.0. No matter what type of acid or base is used.
