O (aq)

let us calculate the number of moles , as per the chemical reactions;

2 moles of HCl solution reacts with one mole Calcium Hydroxide

Ca

One mole of HCl has mass : 36.5 g/mol, two moles of HCl will have mass, 73 g.

One mole of Ca

(

O

H

)

has mass 74.1 g

as per equation; 73 g of HCl reacts with 74.1 g of Ca
