Many metals react with oxygen gas to form the metal oxide. For example, calcium reacts in the following manner. 2 Ca(s) + O2(g) 2 CaO(s)
You wish to calculate the mass of calcium oxide that can be prepared from 4.03 g Ca and 2.72 g O2.
(a) How many moles of CaO can be produced from the given mass of Ca?
(b) How many moles of CaO can be produced from the given mass of O2?
(c) How many grams of CaO can be produced?
