Question

For the reaction Ca(OH), + H2SO4 -> CaSO4 +2 H2O, calculate how many moles of water and how many moles of Na2SO4 will be formed if you start with 2.25 moles of

Ca(OH)2

Answer 1

Calcium Hydroxide + Sulfuric Acid = Calcium Sulfate + Water

Ca(OH)2 + H2SO4 = CaSO4 + H2O is a Double Displacement (Metathesis) reaction where one mole of solid Calcium Hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] and one mole of aqueous Sulfuric Acid [H2SO4] react to form one mole of solid Calcium Sulfate [CaSO4] and two moles of liquid Water [H2O]

Step-by-step explanation:

Reaction Type

Double Displacement (Metathesis)

Exchange reaction

Neutralization reaction

Net Ionic Equation

Ca(OH)2(s) + H2SO4(aq) = CaSO4(s) + 2H2O(l) might be an ionic reaction. Calculate the net ionic equation for Ca(OH)2(s) + H2SO4(aq) = CaSO4(s) + 2H2O(l).
