How many moles of water are produced if 5.43 mol PbO2 are consumed
Mariana [72]
It has to be understood that 2 moles of oxygen are there in each mole of PbO2. Then it has to be calculated for 2 moles of oxygen.

Amount of oxygen = 2 * 5.43 moles
                              = 10.86 moles
Now it is also a fact that each mole of H2O contains 1 mole of oxygen. Then it can be easily concluded that 10.86 moles of water will be produced. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

How many grams of ca are needed to react completely with 2.20 L of a 4.50 m hcl solution
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Ca + 2HCl = CaCl₂ + H₂

c=4.50 mol/l
v=2.20 l

n(HCl)=cv

m(Ca)/M(Ca)=n(HCl)/2

m(Ca)=M(Ca)cv/2

m(Ca)=40g/mol·4.50mol/l·2.20l/2=198 g

198 grams of Ca are needed
