BaCO3+C(s)+H2O(l)CO(g)+Ba(OH)2. If 394 g of BaCO3 are reacted with excess carbon and water, what mass of Ba(OH)2 should be produced?

You should expect 342.6 g of Ba(OH)2

Explanation:

394gofBaCO3 is 2.00 moles.

394g197.3(gmol)=2.00 mol

Looking at the equation, you see that the coefficient of both BaCO3 and Ba(OH)2 is a one. So, the amount of Ba(OH)2 produced will be equal to the amount of BaCO3 reacted.

2.00 mol Ba(OH)2×171.3(gmol)=342.6g
