Question

In a beaker containing 100 ml of water, equal moles of HCl and Ca(OH)2 are mixed. The resulting solution contains mainly which of the following?

a. H2O
b. CaCl2
c. HCl
d. Ca(OH)2

Answer 1

The resulting solution contains mainly CaCl2 when equal moles of HCl and Ca(OH)2 are mixed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The resulting solution contains mainly CaCl2. When equal moles of HCl and Ca(OH)2 are mixed, they react to form CaCl2 and H2O. The balanced equation for this reaction is:

HCl + Ca(OH)2 → CaCl2 + H2O
