Question

Calcium is a metal.

Answer 1

Answer:

22.22 g

Explanation:

The balanced reaction equation is;

Ca(s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl2(aq) + H2(g)

Number of moles of calcium reacted = 8.02g/40.1g/mol = 0.2 moles of Calcium

From the reaction equation;

1 mole of Ca yields 1 mole of CaCl2

Hence 0.2 moles of Ca also yields 0.2 moles of CaCl2

Mass of calcium chloride produced = number of moles * molar mass

Mass of calcium chloride = 0.2 moles of CaCl2 * 111.1g/mol = 22.22 g
