    The Equation is CaH2 (s) + 2H2O (l) - - >Ca (OH) 2 (aq) + 2H2 (g)

    so,

    moles of H2 generated = PV / RT

    R = 62.363 L Torr K-1 mol-1

    number of moles = 814 * 53.5 / 62.363 * 293

    = 2.38 moles

    looking at the equation these came from 2.38 / 2 moles of CaH2 or 1.19 moles

    Molar mass of CaH2 is 42.0943 g/mol

    so mass of CaH2 = 1.19 X 42.1 = 50.01g
