When 50.0 g of calcium carbonate are reacted with sufficient hydrochloric acid, how many grams of calcium chloride will be produced

Respuesta :

Answer:

55.5g of calcium chloride is produced in the reaction.

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of calcium chloride.

The reaction of calcium carbonate with hydrochloride acid gives calcium chloride

CaCO₃ +  2HCl  →  CaCl₂  + CO₂  +  H₂O

Mass of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃)= 50.0g

Molecular mass of CaCO₃ = Ca + C + O₃

                                             = 40+ 12 + 3(16) = 100g

No of moles of calcium carbonate CaCO₃ = given mass / molecular mass

                                                                          = 50g/ 100

                                                                            = 0.5 moles

Molecular mass of calcium chloride = 40+ 2(35.5)=(40+71.0)= 111g/mol

1 mole of calcium carbonate gives = 1 mole of calcium chloride

0.5 moles of calcium carbonate gives= 0.5 × 111g/mole

                                                                = 55.5g
