Moles of product
« on: February 01, 2011, 03:23:30 PM »
I combined 3 mL of a .5 M solution of CaCl2 with  3 mL of a .5 M K2CO3 solution. 

I am trying to find out the number of moles of each starting material and the moles of product.

My equation is CaCl2 + K2CO3  ::equil:: CaCl2 (s) + 2K+ + 2Cl-


 .5 K+ (.5mol / 1L) (1L / 1000mL) (3 mL / 1) (39 g K / 1 mol K ) (138.18 g K2CO3 / 1 mol) = .220727 g K+


(.5 mol Cl- / 1L ) (1L / 1000mL) ( 3mL / 1 mol) (35.45 g / 1 mol) = .053175 g / mL 

correct ?

What happened to CO32-?
