    3.22 g of water

    Explanation:

    The statements in the question already suggests that water is the reactant in excess.

    Number of moles of calcium oxide = mass of calcium oxide / molar mass of calcium oxide

    Number of moles of calcium oxide = 5.00g / 56.0774 g/mol = 0.089 moles

    From the reaction equation;

    If 1 mole of calcium oxide reacts with 1 mole of water

    Then 0.089 moles of calcium oxide reacts with 0.089 moles of water

    Mass of 0.089 moles of water = number of moles * molar mass

    Molar mass of water = 18.01528 g/mol

    Mass of water reacted = 0.089 moles * 18.01528 g/mol

    Mass of water reacted = 1.6g of water.

    Therefore, mass of water left over = 4.83 - 1.6 = 3.2 g of water.
