the nucleus of an atom is held together by the strong force, while the electrons are held in the atom by the electric force.
Cao + H2O ---->Ca(OH)2
Calculate the number of each reactant and the moles of the product
that is
moles = mass/molar mass
The moles of CaO= 56.08g/ 56.08g/mol(molar mass of Cao)= 1mole
the moles of water= 36.04 g/18 g/mol= 2.002moles
The moles of Ca (OH)2=74.10g/74.093g/mol= 1mole
The mass of differences of reactant and product can be therefore
explained as
1 mole of Cao reacted completely with 1 mole H2O to produce 1 mole of Ca(OH)2. The mass of water was in excess while that of CaO was limited
55.9 kPa; Variables given = volume (V), moles (n), temperature (T)
We must calculate <em>p</em> from <em>V, n</em>, and <em>T</em>, so we use <em>the Ideal Gas Law</em>:
<em>pV = nRT</em>
Solve for <em>p</em>: <em>p = nRT/V</em>
R = 8.314 kPa.L.K^(-1).mol^(-1)
<em>T</em> = (265 + 273.15) K = 538.15 K
<em>V</em> = 500.0 mL = 0.5000 L
∴ <em>p</em> = [6.25 x 10^(-3) mol x 8.314 kPa·L·K^(-1)·mol^(-1) x 538.15 K]/(0.5000 L) = 55.9 kPa
