Answer:
Answer: The amount of calcium oxide produced will be 1.402 grams.
Explanation:
To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:
.....(1)
Given mass of calcium = 1 g
Molar mass of calcium = 40 g/mol
Putting values in above equation, we get:
The chemical reaction for the formation of calcium oxide follows the equation:
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
2 moles of calcium produces 2 moles of calcium oxide.
So, 0.025 moles of calcium will produce = of calcium oxide.
Now, calculating the mass of calcium oxide, we use equation 1:
Moles of calcium oxide = 0.025 mol
Molar mass of calcium oxide = 56.07 g/mol
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
Hence, the amount of calcium oxide produced will be 1.402 grams.
