Chapter 3, Problem 3.83P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The amount(mol) of calcium oxide $\left(\text{CaO}\right)$ formed from $4.20\text{ g}$ of $\text{Ca}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

In a balanced chemical equation, the total mass of reactants and products are equal in a balanced chemical equation, thus, it obeyed the law of conservation of mass. Also, the amounts of substances in a balanced chemical reaction are stoichiometrically equivalent to each other.

A limiting reagent is the one that is completely consumed in a chemical reaction. The amount of product formed in any chemical reaction has to be in accordance with the limiting reagent of the reaction.

The formula to calculate moles is as follows:

  $\text{Amount}\left(\text{mol}\right)=\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molecular mass}}$        (1)

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The amount(mol) of calcium oxide $\left(\text{CaO}\right)$ formed from $2.8\text{ g}$ of ${\text{O}}_2$ is to be calculated.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The limiting reactant is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

In a balanced chemical equation, the total mass of reactants and products are equal in a balanced chemical equation, thus, it obeyed the law of conservation of mass. Also, the amounts of substances in a balanced chemical reaction are stoichiometrically equivalent to each other.
