There are 2.4g of calcium hydroxide reacted with nitric acid. Calculate the number of moles of calcium hydroxide used. Write your answer using proper significant digits and units. Show all your work.

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.032 moles

Explanation:

no of moles =

[tex] \frac{mass \: in \: grams}{relative \: molecular \: mass} [/tex]

=

[tex] \frac{2.4}{40 + 32 + 2} [/tex]

= 0.032

Calcium hydroxide reacted with nitric acid the total number of moles will be 0.032 moles.

What is a mole?

A mole is Avogadro's number of particles, which is exactly 6.02214076×1023.

The mole is widely used in chemistry as a convenient way to express amounts of reactants and products of chemical reactions. For example, the chemical equation 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O can be interpreted to mean that for each 2 mol dihydrogen (H2) and 1 mol dioxygen (O2) that react 2 mol of water (H2O) form.

Number of moles = Mass of substance / Mass of one mole Number of moles

mass of substance = 2.4g

molar mass of calcium hydroxide is  (1 ×40.078g/mol Ca) +(2 × 15.999g/mol O) + (2 × 1.008g/mol H) = 74.092 g/mol Ca (OH)2

substituting the value,

number of moles = 2.4 / 74.029

                          = 0.032 moles

Therefore, moles of calcium hydroxide will be 0.032 moles
