Ammonium chloride reacts with calcium oxide to produce ammonia, calcium chloride, and water. If 7.4 grams of ammonia are produced, how many grams of calcium chloride are also
produced?

Answer 1

Mass of calcium chloride produced = 24.14 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Mass of ammonia produced = 7.4 g

Mass of calcium chloride produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2NH₄Cl + CaO → 2NH₃ + H₂O + CaCl₂

Number of moles of ammonia produced:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 7.4 g/ 17 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.435 mol

Now we will compare the moles of ammonia and calcium chloride.

NH₃ : CaCl₂

2 : 1

0.435 : 1/2×0.435 = 0.2175 mol

Mass of calcium chloride produced:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.2175 mol ×110.98 g/mol

Mass = 24.14 g
