For the reaction, calculate how many moles of the product form when 0.016mol of O2 completely reacts. . Assume that there is more than enough of the other reactant.. 2Ca(s)+O2(g)→2CaO(s)

The balanced reaction is given as:

2Ca(s)+O2(g)→2CaO(s)

We are given the amount of oxygen gas to be used for the reaction. This will be the starting point of our calculations.

0.016 mol O2 ( 2 mol CaO / 1 mol O2 ) = 0.032 mol CaO

Therefore, for the reaction, the amount of calcium oxide produced is 0.032 moles.
