Here is how all of them are worked.
1. Write and balance the equation.
Ca(OH)2 + 2HCl ==> CaCl2 + 2H2O

2. Convert what you have to mols.
mols Ca(OH)2 = grams/molar mass = ? You will need to convert kg to g first.

3. Using the coefficients in the balanced equation, convert mols Ca(OH)2 to mols H2O produced. In this case that is ?mols Ca(OH)2 x (2 mols H2O/1 mol Ca(OH)2) = ?mols Ca(OH)2 x 2/1 = ?

4. Then convert mols H2O to grams. g = mols x molar mass = ? and convert to kg.
