Reactants and Products question
« on: September 18, 2010, 06:00:23 PM »
Hi,

There are several questions I'm stumped over and I would appreciate any help, advice, or hints as to how to solve these problems.
Thank you.
*numbers are subscripts

1) What Mass of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) would be formed if 248.6 g of carbon dioxide (CO2) were exhaled into limewater, Ca(OH)2? How many grams of calcium would be needed to form that amount of calcium carbonate? Assume 100% yield in each reaction.

* I am having trouble with this one because I don't know how to set it up. I know you have to set it up in a chemical formula but I'm not sure whether it's right and what would I need to do from there?

2) The following reaction is used to form lead iodide crystals. What mass of crystal (PbI2) could be formed from 1.0 x 10^3 of lead (II) acetate [Pb(2H3O2)2]?

* I'm not sure how to set this one up either, I tried the 5 step method given to find reactants and product but my answer was wrong.

1) First show what you did to set up the equation. Then you would need to think of 248.6 g of CO_2 in chemical amounts.

2) Start from finding how many mols of Pb are in lead (II) acetate.
