In this experiment, you will be mixing aqueous solutions of sodium carbonate and calcium chloride to produce solid calcium carbonate.
Na2CO3(aq) + CaCl2(aq) ā 2 NaCl(aq) + CaCO3(s)
Order the steps required to predict the volume (in mL) of 0.200 M calcium chloride needed to produce 2.00 g of calcium carbonate. There is an excess of sodium carbonate.
Step 1: Convert mass of calcium carbonate to moles of calcium carbonate.
Step 2: Convert the volume of calcium chloride solution required from liters to milliliters.
Step 3: Compute the volume of calcium chloride solution required.
Step 4: Compare moles of calcium carbonate to moles of calcium chloride based on balanced equation to calculate moles of calcium chloride required.
