According to the following balanced reaction, how many moles of Ca(OH), will be formed from 6.55 moles of H20?
CaO(s) + H2O(l) → Ca(OH)2(s)
From the balanced reaction, we can see that 1 mole of CaO reacts with 2 moles of H2O to form 1 mole of Ca(OH)2.
Therefore, to find out how many moles of Ca(OH)2 will be formed from 6.55 moles of H2O, we need to use the mole ratio from the balanced equation:
6.55 moles H2O x (1 mole Ca(OH)2 / 2 moles H2O) = 3.275 moles Ca(OH)2
Therefore, 6.55 moles of H2O will produce 3.275 moles of Ca(OH)2.
