10 public questions tagged with this topic.

What is the mass of CaCl₂ produced when 25 g of Ca(OH)₂ reacts with excess HCl? (Molar masses: Ca(OH)₂ = 74 g/mol, CaCl₂

Reaction: Ca(OH)₂ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + 2H₂O. Moles of Ca(OH)₂ = 25/74 ≈ 0.3378 mol. 1 mol Ca(OH)₂ produces 1 mol CaCl₂; mass = 0.3378 × 111 ≈ 37.5 g.
