When calcium carbonate is added to hydrochloric acid, calcium chloride, carbon dioxide, and water are produced. caco3(s) 2hcl(aq)⟶cacl2(aq) h2o(l) co2(g) how many grams of calcium chloride will be produced when 27.0 g of calcium carbonate is combined with 14.0 g of hydrochloric acid?

Sagot :

21.1 grams of calcium chloride will be produced when 27.0 g of calcium carbonate is combined with 14.0 g of hydrochloric acid.

What is a limiting reagent?

The reactant that is consumed first in a chemical reaction is the limiting reagent or limiting reactant because it stops any more reactions from taking place. The limiting reagent controls how much product is produced during the reaction.

CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) ==> CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)  

[tex]mols CaCO3 =[/tex] [tex]27 *\frac{1 mol}{100g}[/tex] = 0.27 mol

[tex]mols HCl = 15 gx \frac{1 mol}{36.5 g}[/tex] = 0.38 mol

Limiting reactant = HCl ( it takes 2x the mols of HCl compared to mols CaCO3 as per balanced equation)

mass of CaCl2 = [tex]0.411 mols HCl x\frac{ 1 mol CaCl2}{ 2 mols HCl } x 111.0 g/mol[/tex]

mass of CaCl2 = 21.1 g

Hence, 21.1 g of calcium chloride will be produced when 27.0 g of calcium carbonate is combined with 14.0 g of hydrochloric acid.
