Calculate the number of moles of sodium chloride (NaCl) formed if 0.345

moles of calcium chloride (CaCl2) react.


1 Na2CO3 (aq) + 1 CaCl2 (aq) – 1 CaCO3 (s) + 2 NaCl (aq)


= ________ Moles ?

Respuesta :

Answer : The number of moles of [tex]NaCl[/tex] formed are, 0.69 moles.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of [tex]CaCl_2[/tex] = 0.345 mol

Now we have to calculate the moles of [tex]NaCl[/tex]

The balanced chemical equation is:

[tex]1Na_2CO_2(aq)+1CaCl_2(aq)\rightarrow 1CaCO_3(s)+2NaCl(aq)[/tex]

From the balanced reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 mole of [tex]CaCl_2[/tex] react to give 2 moles of [tex]NaCl[/tex]

So, 0.345 mole of [tex]CaCl_2[/tex] react to give [tex]2\times 0.345=0.69[/tex] mole of [tex]NaCl[/tex]

Therefore, the number of moles of [tex]NaCl[/tex] formed are, 0.69 moles.
