Calcium reacts with Hydrochloric acid to produce Calcium chloride and
Hydrogen gas. If we start with 2 g of Hydrochloric acid, how many grams
of Calcium Chloride will we produce?

Answer:

Mass = 2.77 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of HCl = 2 g

Mass of CaCl₂ produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2HCl + Ca    →     CaCl₂ + H₂

Number of moles of HCl:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 2 g/ 36.5 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.05 mol

now we will compare the moles of HCl with CaCl₂.

                   HCl       :         CaCl₂

                     2         :          1

                   0.05     :       1/2×0.05 = 0.025 mol

Mass of CaCl₂:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.025 mol × 110.98 g/mol

Mass = 2.77 g
