slaked lime (Ca(OH)2) is formed from quicklime (CaO) by the addition of water. What mass of slaked lime can be produced from a mixture of 24.4g of CAO and 12.3g of H2O CaO(s)+H2O(l)=Ca(OH)2(s)
The Law of Conservation of Mass says that there can be no more or no less mass after a chemical reaction, so 24.4g+ 12.3 g has to equal the mass of Ca(OH)2
