When calcium carbonate is added to hydrochloric acid, calcium chloride, carbon dioxide, and water are produced. CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) rightarrow Cacl2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) How many grams of calcium chloride will be produced when 28.0 g of calcium carbonate are combined with 12.0 g of hydrochloric acid? Which reactant is in excess and how many grams of this reactant will remain after the reaction is complete? A compound is 54.53% C, 9.15% H, and 36.32% O by mass. What is its empirical formula? The molecular mass of the compound is 132 amu. What is the molecular formula?

Explanation / Answer

1) 8 moles of SO2 can give   3moles of S8

then 87/64 moles 0f SO2..............?

= o.502 moles of S8 forms

   = 64.02 gm of SO2 forms



2) 2 moles of HCl can give 1 mole of CaCl2


0.32 moles of HCl can give ?

=0.16 moles of CaCl2 = 17.76 gm



CaCO3 is in excess

9.9 gm of CaCO3 is in excess amount



3) C=54.53/12=4.5

   H =9.1/1 =9.1

   O = 36.32/16 =2.2

C4H9O2
