Question

how many grams of calcium sulfate are produced from 10 grams of calcium nitrate and how many grams of calcium sulfate are produce from 10 grams of lithium sulfate.

Answer 1

Answer:  8.30 g of calcium sulfate are produced from 10 grams of lithium sulfate.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

$\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}$    

$\text{Moles of} Ca(NO_3)_2=\frac{10g}{164g/mol}=0.061moles$

$\text{Moles of} Li_2SO_4=\frac{10g}{110g/mol}=0.091moles$

$Ca(NO_3)_2+Li_2SO_4\rightarrow 2LiNO_3+CaSO_4$  

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of $Ca(NO_3)_2$ require = 1 mole of $Li_2SO_4$

Thus 0.061 moles of $Ca(NO_3)_2$ will require=$\frac{1}{1}\times 0.061=0.061moles$  of $Li_2SO_4$

Thus $Ca(NO_3)_2$ is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and $Li_2SO_4$ is the excess reagent.

As 1 mole of $Ca(NO_3)_2$ give = 1 mole of $CaSO_4$

Thus 0.061 moles of $Ca(NO_3)_2$ give =$\frac{1}{1}\times 0.061=0.061moles$  of $CaSO_4$

Mass of $CaSO_4=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.061moles\times 136g/mol=8.30g$

Thus 8.30 g of calcium sulfate are produced from 10 grams of lithium sulfate.
