All the options are solved and answer is written below

What is a Chemical Reaction ?

A reaction between two or more compounds to form products made after chemical change is called a chemical reaction.

It is given that

A chemical reaction was carried out by mixing 25 g of pure CaCO₃ and 0.75 mole of pure HCl

CaCl₂ , H₂O and CO₂  are the products obtained.

CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

Mole ratio CaCO₃ : HCl : CaCl₂ : H₂O = 1 : 2 : 1 : 1

Molar mass of CaCO₃  = 100 g/mol

Molar mass of HCl  = 36.5 g/mol

Molar mass of H₂O = 18 g/mol

Molar mass of CaCl₂= 110.98 g/mol

Moles of CaCO₃ = 25/100 = 0.25 moles

Moles of HCl present = 0.75 mole

For 0.25 moles of CaCO₃ 0.5 moles of HCl is required , as the moles of HCl is present in excess therefore

a. CaCO₃ is the limiting reactant

b. mass of CaCl₂ produced

Moles of CaCl₂  produced = 0.25 moles

1 mole means 110.98 gm

0.25 mole means 0.25* 110.98 = 27.74 gm

c. moles of water molecules formed

for 0.25 moles of CaCO₃ 0.25 moles of water will be formed

d.Volume of Co produced at STP

PV = nRT

P= 1 atm

V=?

R = 0.0821 atm L/K/mol

V = 0.25 * 0.0821 * 273 /1

V = 5.6 liter

e. The mass of NaOH required to absorb CO₂ produced in the reaction

Ratio of NaOH:CO₂ = 2 :1

0.5 moles will be required , i.e.

0.5 *40

20 grams of NaOH will be required.
