ENTER THE COEFFICIENTS DIRECTLY FROM THE BALANCED CHEMICAL EQUATION. do not reduce to lowest terms. for example: if 3 moles H2 react with 3 moles O2, enter "3" for each, not "1".

according to the following reaction:

Ca(OH)2(aq) + 2HCl(aq) -> CaCl2(aq) + 2H20(l)

what would you multiply "moles of calcium hydroxide" by to convert the units of "moles of water"?

moles Ca(OH)2. (number)(unit) ÷ (number) (unit) = moles H2O

Answer:

The coefficients are 2 for H₂O and 1 for Ca(OH)₂.

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

Ca(OH)₂(aq) + 2 HCl(aq) → CaCl₂(aq) + 2 H₂O(l)

According to the balanced equation, the molar ratio of H₂O to Ca(OH)₂ is 2:1. Using this conversion factor, we have the following proportion:

moles Ca(OH)₂. (2 mol H₂O ÷ 1 mol Ca(OH)₂) = moles H₂O
