Calculate the mass of CaCL2 formed when 5 moles of chlorine reacts with calcium metal

555 g of CaCl₂

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

Ca + Cl₂ —> CaCl₂

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Cl₂ reacted to produce 1 mole of CaCl₂.

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of CaCl₂ produced by the reaction of 5 moles of Cl₂. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Cl₂ reacted to produce 1 mole CaCl₂.

Therefore, 5 moles of Cl₂ will also react to produce 5 moles of CaCl₂.

Thus, 5 moles of CaCl₂ were obtained from the reaction.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of 5 moles of CaCl₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of CaCl₂ = 5 moles

Molar mass of CaCl₂ = 40 + (35.5×2)

= 40 + 71

= 111 g/mol

Mass of CaCl₂ =?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of CaCl₂ = 5 × 111

Mass of CaCl₂ = 555 g

Therefore, 555 g of CaCl₂ were obtained from the reaction.

girl imma just put my comment here because i need a couple point okurrttt
