The number of moles of HCl is calculated using the formula:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\text{moles of HCl} = \\text{Molarity (M)} \\times \\text{Volume (L)}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\text{moles of HCl} = 0.76 \\, \\text{M} \\times 0.250 \\, \\text{L} = 0.19 \\, \\text{moles of HCl}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Moles of CaCO\u2083:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The molar mass of CaCO\u2083 is approximately 100.1 g\/mol. The number of moles of CaCO\u2083 is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\text{moles of CaCO\u2083} = \\frac{\\text{mass (g)}}{\\text{molar mass (g\/mol)}} = \\frac{1000 \\, \\text{g}}{100.1 \\, \\text{g\/mol}} \\approx 9.99 \\, \\text{moles of CaCO\u2083}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Determine the limiting reagent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From the balanced equation, 1 mole of CaCO\u2083 reacts with 2 moles of HCl. Therefore, to fully react with 9.99 moles of CaCO\u2083, we would need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>9.99 \\, \\text{moles of CaCO\u2083} \\times 2 \\, \\text{moles of HCl} = 19.98 \\, \\text{moles of HCl}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, we only have 0.19 moles of HCl, which is far less than the 19.98 moles required. Therefore, HCl is the limiting reagent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Calculate the moles of CaCl\u2082 produced<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From the balanced equation, 2 moles of HCl produce 1 mole of CaCl\u2082. Since HCl is the limiting reagent, we can calculate the moles of CaCl\u2082 formed based on the available moles of HCl:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\text{moles of CaCl\u2082} = \\frac{0.19 \\, \\text{moles of HCl}}{2} = 0.095 \\, \\text{moles of CaCl\u2082}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Calculate the mass of CaCl\u2082<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The molar mass of CaCl\u2082 is approximately 147 g\/mol. The mass of CaCl\u2082 produced is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\text{mass of CaCl\u2082} = \\text{moles of CaCl\u2082} \\times \\text{molar mass of CaCl\u2082}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\text{mass of CaCl\u2082} = 0.095 \\, \\text{moles} \\times 147 \\, \\text{g\/mol} = 13.9 \\, \\text{g of CaCl\u2082}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The limiting reagent is <strong>HCl<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The number of moles of CaCl\u2082 formed is <strong>0.095 moles<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The mass of CaCl\u2082 formed is <strong>13.9 g<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This shows that HCl limits the amount of CaCl\u2082 produced, even though there is excess CaCO\u2083.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Calcium carbonate reacts with aqueous HCl to give CaCl2and CO2according to the reaction given below: CaCO3(s) + 2HCl (aq) ?
