Answer:
If you hace 4 moles of CaCl₂, you can make 8 moles of HCl.
Explanation:
The balanced equation is
CaCl₂ + 2 H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + 2 HCl
By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction) , the following amounts of each compound participate in the reaction:
- CaCl₂: 1 mole
- H₂O: 2 moles
- Ca(OH)₂: 1 mole
- HCl: 2 moles
Then you can apply the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry 1 mole of CaCl₂ forms 2 moles of HCl, 4 moles of CaCl₂ form how many moles of HCl?
[tex]moles of HCl=\frac{4 moles of CaCl_{2}*2 moles of HCl }{1mole of CaCl_{2}}[/tex]
moles of HCl= 8
If you hace 4 moles of CaCl₂, you can make 8 moles of HCl.
