One of the reactions in the Solvay Process involves the reaction of calcium oxide with water to produce slaked lime (calcium hydroxide). CaO(s) + H O2 (l) - Ca(OH)2 (s) A lab technician performs the experiment and uses 54.8 g of calcium oxide to react with a set amount of water. When the reaction is completed, the technician uses a filtration apparatus to collect the mass of calcium hydroxide produced. The following data is recorded: Mass of filter paper: 1.24 g Mass of filter paper and solid: 68.04 g What is the theoretical mass of calcium hydroxide that is predicted to be produced? What mass of precipitate was collected in this experiment? What is the percent error? Comment on the validity of the results
