Question

CaCl2 + Na2CO3 → CaCO3 + 2 NaCl

1. How many moles of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) are produced when
8.45 moles of calcium chloride react (CaCl2)? *

Answer 1

8.45 moles are produced

Step-by-step explanation:

CaCl₂ + Na₂CO₃ → CaCO₃ + 2 NaCl

From the equation, we can see that for every 1 mole of CaCl₂ and 1 mole Na₂CO₃ will give 1 mole of CaCO₃ and 2 moles of NaCl

to calculate how many moles of CaCO₃ ,we simply multiply multiply each by the 8.45 moles of CaCl₂ which will reacts

these is because for every 1 mole of CaCl₂ and 1 mole Na₂CO₃ will give 1 mole of CaCO₃ and 2 moles of NaCl

therefore we have every 1x8.45(8.45) mole of CaCl₂ and 1x8.45(8.45) mole Na₂CO₃ will give 1x8.45(8.45) mole of CaCO₃ and 2x8.45(16.9) moles of NaCl

8.45 moles are produced in the reaction

Answer 2

8.45 moles

Step-by-step explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

CaCl2 + Na2CO3 → CaCO3 + 2NaCl

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of calcium chloride (CaCl2) produced 1 mole of calcium carbonate (CaCO3).

Therefore, 8.45 moles of calcium chloride (CaCl2) will also produce 8.45 moles of calcium carbonate (CaCO3)

From the illustration above, 8.45 moles of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) are produced.
