Chapter 21, Problem 21.69QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The balanced equations for the reaction between calcium oxide and dilute hydrochloride solution has to be written.

Concept introduction:

• There is a law for conversion of mass in a chemical reaction i.e., the mass of total amount of the product should be equal to the total mass of the reactants.
• The concept of writing a balanced chemical equation is depends on conversion of reactants into products.
• First write the reaction from the given information.
• Then count the number of atoms of each element in reactants as well as products.
• Finally obtained values could place it as coefficients of reactants as well as products.
