To calculate the mass of calcium sulfide (CaS) formed in the given reaction, we first need to determine the molar mass of Ca(OH)₂ and CaS.
Molar mass of Ca(OH)₂:Ca: 40.08 g/molO: 16.00 g/molH: 1.01 g/mol(40.08 + 2(16.00) + 2(1.01)) g/mol = 74.10 g/mol
Molar mass of CaS:Ca: 40.08 g/molS: 32.06 g/mol(40.08 + 32.06) g/mol = 72.14 g/mol
From the balanced chemical equation, we see that 1 mole of Ca(OH)₂ reacts to form 1 mole of CaS. Therefore, the molar ratio of Ca(OH)₂ to CaS is 1:1.
Given that 48 g of Ca(OH)₂ is present in the reaction, we can calculate the amount of CaS formed:
48 g Ca(OH)₂ (1 mol CaS / 1 mol Ca(OH)₂) (72.14 g CaS / 1 mol CaS) = 48 g CaS
Therefore, 48 g of calcium sulfide (CaS) is formed in the reaction.
To calculate the mass of calcium sulfide (CaS) formed in the given reaction, we first need to determine the molar mass of Ca(OH)₂ and CaS.
Molar mass of Ca(OH)₂:
Ca: 40.08 g/mol
O: 16.00 g/mol
H: 1.01 g/mol
(40.08 + 2(16.00) + 2(1.01)) g/mol = 74.10 g/mol
Molar mass of CaS:
Ca: 40.08 g/mol
S: 32.06 g/mol
(40.08 + 32.06) g/mol = 72.14 g/mol
From the balanced chemical equation, we see that 1 mole of Ca(OH)₂ reacts to form 1 mole of CaS. Therefore, the molar ratio of Ca(OH)₂ to CaS is 1:1.
Given that 48 g of Ca(OH)₂ is present in the reaction, we can calculate the amount of CaS formed:
48 g Ca(OH)₂ (1 mol CaS / 1 mol Ca(OH)₂) (72.14 g CaS / 1 mol CaS) = 48 g CaS
Therefore, 48 g of calcium sulfide (CaS) is formed in the reaction.
