Question 56

Calcium burns in excess oxygen to form calcium oxide.

The balanced equation for this reaction is:

2Ca+O2→2CaO 2\text{Ca} + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{CaO} 2Ca+O2​→2CaO

Starting with 3.00 g of calcium, calculate the maximum mass of calcium oxide that could be formed in this reaction.

(Relative atomic masses, ArA_rAr​: O=16.0\text{O} = 16.0O=16.0, Ca=40.0\text{Ca} = 40.0Ca=40.0)

You must show your working.
