Answer : The number of moles of calcium chloride theoretically produced are, 1.3 moles.
Explanation : Given,
Moles of HCl = 2.6 moles
Moles of = 1.4 moles
Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.
The given balanced chemical reaction is:
From the balanced reaction we conclude that
As, 2 mole of react with 1 mole of
So, 2.6 moles of react with moles of
From this we conclude that, is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.
Now we have to calculate the moles of
From the reaction, we conclude that
As, 2 mole of react to give 1 mole of
So, 2.6 moles of react to give moles of
Therefore, the number of moles of calcium chloride theoretically produced are, 1.3 moles.
