What is the theoretical yield in grams of Ca(OH)2 if 2.04 g of KOH react with 3.02 g of CaCl2•2H2O as shown by the below equation? CaCl2(aq) + 2KOH(aq) → Ca(OH)2(s) + 2KCl(aq) In the part of the calculation that converts the number of grams to moles for CaCl2•2H2O, the two water molecules must be included in the molar mass needed to convert grams to moles (molar mass of CaCl2•2H2O is 147.0 g/mol).What is the limiting reactant?

  1. What is the theoretical yield in grams of Ca(OH)2 if 2.04 g of KOH react with 3.02 g of CaCl2•2H2O as shown by the below equation?

    CaCl2(aq) + 2KOH(aq) → Ca(OH)2(s) + 2KCl(aq)

    In the part of the calculation that converts the number of grams to moles for CaCl2•2H2O, the two water molecules must be included in the molar mass needed to convert grams to moles (molar mass of CaCl2•2H2O is 147.0 g/mol).What is the limiting reactant?
