the reaction is......CaCO3+2HCl---->CO2+H2O+CaCl2.

Question

what mass of HCl will be neutralized by 0.50g ofCaCO3?
How do i figure this out in a non-complicated way??

Answer 1

Three steps.
1. mols CaCO3 = grams/molar mass.
2. Using the coefficients in the balanced equation convert mols CaCO3 to mols HCl.
3. Convert mols HCl to grams. g = mols x molar mass.
