Question

2 NaCL + CaO = CaCL2 + Na2O

Answer 1

222 grams of calcium chloride is produced.

Explanation:

The mole concept and the chemical equation are very much closely related with each other. In the chemical reaction, the compounds or elements in both sides are balanced according to the number of atoms of each side of the reaction. So from there we can easily find the amount of reactant reacts to produce desired product.

Here we can see that 2 moles of sodium chloride produces 1 mole of calcium chloride.

So, 4 moles of sodium chloride will produce 2 moles of calcium chloride.

Now, atomic weight of calcium =40.

Atomic weight of chlorine =35.5.

So,the molecular weight of calcium chloride = $40+ 35.5\times2$

=111.

It means, 1 mole of calcium chloride weighs 111 grams.

So 2 moles of calcium chloride weighs $111\times2$ grams = 222 grams.
