HELP!! CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) CaCl2(aq) + H2O( ) + CO2

(g)

What is the total number of moles of CO2 formed

when 20. moles of HCl is completely consumed?

A) 5.0 mol B) 10. mol

C) 20. mol D) 40. mol

The total number of moles of CO2 formed : 10

Further explanation

Given

Reaction

CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) ⇒CaCl2(aq) + H2O( ) + CO2 (g)

20. moles of HCl

Required

moles of CO2

Solution

The reaction coefficient in the chemical reaction equation shows the mole ratio of the elements in the reactants and products

From the equation, mol ratio of HCl : CO2 = 2 : 1, so mol CO2 :

= 1/2 x mol HCl

= 1/2 x 20

= 10 moles

10 years is the answer

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
