When calcium carbonate is added to hydrochloric acid, calcium chloride, carbon dioxide, and water are produced. CaCO3 (s) + 2 HCl (aq) ⟶ CaCl2 (aq) + H 2 O (l) + CO 2 (g) How many grams of calcium chloride will be produced when 25.0 g of calcium carbonate is combined with 13.0 g of hydrochloric acid

    19.7 g of CaCl₂ are produced in the reaction

    Explanation:

    In this excersise we need to know the limiting reactant in order to determine the mass produced of a one of the products

    The reaction is: CaCO₃ (s) + 2HCl (aq) → CaCl₂ (aq) + H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g)

    First of all we must find the limiting reactant. For that purpose, we convert the mass of reactants to moles

    25 g / 100.08 g/mol = 0.249 moles of carbonate

    13 g / 36.45 g/mol = 0.357 moles of HCl

    We work with the stoichiometry of the reaction:

    1 mol of carbonate reacts with 2 moles of hydrochloric

    Then, 0.249 moles of carbonate must react with (0.249. 2) / 1 = 0.498 moles of HCl (We do not have enough HCl, so this is the limtiing reactant)

    We work with the stoichiometry reactant / product

    2 moles of HCl can produce 1 mol of CaCl₂

    Therefore 0.357 moles of HCl must produce (0.357.1) / 2 = 0.178 moles of chloride.

    We convert the moles to mass → 0.178 mol. 110.98 g / 1mol = 19.7g
