Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 2 moles of CaO are required to react with 2 moles of Ca(OH)₂.
<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>In first place, the balanced reaction is:
CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂
By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:
- CaO: 1 mole
- H₂O: 1 mole
- Ca(OH)₂: 1 mole
The following rule of three can be applied: If by stoichiometric reaction 1 mole of Ca(OH)₂ is produced by 1 mole of CaO, 2 moles of Ca(OH)₂ are produced by how many moles of CaO?
moles of CaO= 2 moles
Finally, 2 moles of CaO are required to react with 2 moles of Ca(OH)₂.
