Given the following equation: 2 Ca + O2 --> 2 CaO How many moles CaO produced from 4 moles O2?

8 moles of CaO produced from 4 moles O2.

Explanation:

Balanced chemical equation for the reaction:

2 Ca + O2 --> 2 CaO

Data given:

moles of O2 = 4

Moles of CaO =?

From the reaction it is seen that 1 mole of O2 is used in the reaction to produce 2 moles of CaO

hence, 4 moles of O2 will give x moles of CaO

=

x =8

So, 8 moles of CaO will be produced when 4 moles of O2 will be used in the reaction. Since oxygen is the limiting reagent in the reaction.

it can be observed without changing the identity of the object.

it depends on what substance you're talking about as well as many other factors. in quantum mechanics, the observation of particles affects the observers ability to measure certain properties. for example: you can know the velocity of a particle, but you can't know it's position; or you can know it's position, but not it's velocity. it's like trying to find out where a grain of sand is by throwing other grains of sand at it. once you find out where it is, it's been moved. it's also like trying to find an answer to the question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody is there to hear it. paradoxically, the only way to find out is to be there and hear it.
