39.96 g product form when 16.7 g of calcium metal completely reacts.
What is the stoichiometric process?
Stoichiometry is a section of chemistry that involves using relationships between reactants and/or products in a chemical reaction to determine desired quantitative data.
Equation:
[tex]Ca(s) + Cl_2(g)[/tex] → [tex]CaCl_2(s)[/tex]
In this case, for the undergoing reaction, we can compute the grams of the formed calcium chloride by noticing the 1:1 molar ratio between calcium and it (stoichiometric coefficients) and using their molar mass of 40 g/mol and 111 g/mol by using the following stoichiometric process:
[tex]m_{ca_C_l_2}[/tex]= 16.7 g Ca x [tex]\frac{1 mol \;of \;Ca}{40g Ca}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{1 mol \;of \;CaCl_2}{1 mol \;Ca}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{111g of \;CaCl_2}{1 mol \;CaCl_2}[/tex]
[tex]m_{ca_C_l_2}[/tex] = 39.96 g
Hence, 39.96 g product form when 16.7 g of calcium metal completely reacts.
