How do you solve this chemistry problem? Need HELP?

Help on my chemistry lab!!?

  • I am sooo confused on my chemistry lab and I need help on it. If anyone can help me figure out how to solve the 4 questions I would love you forever. Here are the questions. 1. Calculate the number of moles of calcium used in the compound. 2. Calculate the number of moles of hydroxide that combined. (hint: the gram molecular weight of hydroxide is 17g/mole). 3. Using the moles computed in problem 1 and 2, compute the experimental formula for calcium hydroxide. 4. What is the theoretical formula of calcium hydroxide?

  • Answer:

    You haven't given the first part of the problem, so it's practically impossible to help. However--for #3, once you have the moles of Ca and the moles of OH, use their ratio to compute the formula for calcium hydroxide. You should, in fact, find that you have one mole of Ca for every 2 moles of OH, meaning that the formula for calcium hydroxide is Ca(OH)2, which it is.
