26.4 kg of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂)
Explanation:
We have the following chemical reaction:
CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂
molecular weight of Ca(OH)₂ = atomic mass of Ca × number of Ca atoms + atomic mass of O × number of O atoms + atomic mass of H × number of H atoms
molecular weight of Ca(OH)₂ = 40 × 1 + 16 × 2 + 1 × 2 = 74 g/mole
molecular weight of CaO = atomic mass of Ca × number of Ca atoms + atomic mass of O × number of O atoms
molecular weight of CaO = 40 + 16 = 56 g/mole
number of moles = mass / molecular weight
number of moles of CaO = 20 / 56 = 0.357 kmoles
Taking in account the chemical reaction we devise the following reasoning:
if 1 kmole of CaO produces 1 kmole of Ca(OH)₂
then 0.357 kmoles of CaO produces X kmoles of Ca(OH)₂
X = (0.357 × 1) / 1 = 0.357 kmoles of Ca(OH)₂
mass = number of moles × molecular weight
mass of Ca(OH)₂ = 0.357 × 74 = 26.4 kg
