Question

If Hydrocloric acid reacts with Calcium hydroxide in the molar ratio 1:1, it will form :

a basic salt
a normal salt.
an acid salt.
None of these.

Answer 1

Answer:

An acid salt.

Explanation:

The limiting reactant is HCl. Explanation: The balanced equation is: It's a stoichiometry problem. Masses of both the reactants are given and the questions asks to find out the limiting reactant. We convert the given grams of each reactant to moles on dividing by its molar mass. Now, we can calculate the moles of any of the product on multiplying the moles of the reactant by mole ratio. We do this starting with both the reactants and see which one gives less number of moles of the product. The limiting reactant is the one giving least number of moles of the product. Molar mass of HCl is 36.46 gram per mol and that of Ca is 40.08 gram per mol.
