How many moles of cao will be produced from 23.9 g of ca?
2ca(s) + o2(g) – 20: 0(3)
mol

0.6 moles of CaO will produced.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of calcium = 23.9 g

Moles of CaO produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Ca + O₂ → 2CaO

Number of moles of calcium:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 23.9 g / 40 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.6 mol

Now we will compare the moles of calcium and CaO.

            Ca         :          CaO

              2          :          2

            0.6         :        0.6

 0.6 moles of CaO will produced.

fe 55.85 g/mol and h2o 18.02 g/mol.
