Answer:

3 moles of Calcium Oxide are formed

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the reaction of Calcium Ca, with oxygen, O₂, to produce calcium oxide, CaO is:

2Ca + O₂ → 2CaO

where 2 moles of calcium produce 2 moles of Calcium oxide.

That means, if 3 moles of Ca react in presence of oxygen:

3 moles of calcium oxide are formed
