Answer:
3284.3 kg is the mass of HCl needed to produce 5000 kg of CaCl₂
Explanation:
This is the reaction:
CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O
Let's convert the mass of the product to moles (mass (g) / molar mas)
Firstly we must convert kg to g
1 kg = 1000 g
5×10³ kg . 1000 g / 1 kg = 5×10⁶ g
5×10⁶ g / 110.98 g/mol = 45053.1 moles
Ratio is 1:2 So, let's make a rule of three:
1 mol of CaCl₂ was produced by the use of 2 moles of HCl
So 45053.1 moles of salt, were produced by, the double of moles
45053.1 mol . 2 → 90106.2 moles
Let's convert the moles, to mass (mol . molar mass)
90106.2 mol . 36.45 g/mol = 3284375 g → 3284.3 kg
