Question

If you react 33.0 grams of Ca how many moles of CaSO4 is produced?Ca + H2SO4 → CaSO4 + H2

Answer 1

Answer:

0.825 moles of CaSO₄ is produced

Explanation:

The given equation of reaction is:

$Ca+H_2SO_4\rightarrow CaSO_4+H_2$

Mass of Ca = 33.0 g

Molar mass of Ca = 40 g/mol

Number of moles of Ca = Mass/Molar Mass

Number of moles of Ca = 33/40

Number of moles of Ca = 0.825 moles

From the equation:

1 mole of ca produced 1 mole of CaSO₄

0.825 moles of Ca will produce 0.825 moles of CaSO₄

Therefore, 0.825 moles of CaSO₄ is produced
