When calcium carbonate is added to hydrochloric acid, calcium chloride, carbon dioxide, and water are produced.

caco3(s) + 2hcl (aq) > cacl2 (aq) + h2o(l) + co2(g)

how many grams of calcium chloride will be produced when 25.0 g of calcium carbonate are combined with 13.0 g of hydrochloric acid? which reactant is in excess and how many grams of this reactant will remain after the reaction is complete?

Mass of CaCl₂ =  20 g

CaCO is presewnt in excess.

Mass of of CaCO₃ remain unreacted =  7.007 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of calcium carbonate = 25 g

Mass of hydrochloric acid = 13.0 g

Mass of calcium chloride produced = ?

Chemical equation:

CaCO₃ + 2HCl  →  CaCl₂  + H₂O + CO₂

Number of moles of CaCO₃:

Number of moles of CaCO₃ = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles of CaCO₃= 25.0 g / 100.1 g/mol

Number of moles of CaCO₃ = 0.25 mol

Number of moles of HCl:

Number of moles of  HCl = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles of HCl = 13.0 g / 36.5 g/mol

Number of moles of HCl = 0.36 mol

Now we will compare the moles of CaCl₂ with HCl and CaCO₃ .

                  CaCO₃         :               CaCl₂

                    1                 :               1

                 0.25              :            0.25

                HCl                :                CaCl₂

                 2                   :                    1

                 0.36            :                  1/2 × 0.36 = 0.18 mol

The number of moles of CaCl₂ produced by HCl are less it will be limiting reactant.

Mass of CaCl₂ = moles × molar mass

Mass of CaCl₂ =0.18 mol × 110.98 g/mol

Mass of CaCl₂ =  20 g

The calcium carbonate is present in excess.

                HCl                :                CaCO₃

                 2                   :                    1

                 0.36            :                  1/2 × 0.36 = 0.18 mol

So, 0.18 moles react with 0.36 moles of HCl.

The moles of CaCO₃ remain unreacted = 0.25 -0.18

The moles of CaCO₃ remain unreacted = 0.07 mol

Mass of of CaCO₃ remain unreacted = Moles × molar mass

Mass of of CaCO₃ remain unreacted = 0.07 mol × 100.1 g/mol

Mass of of CaCO₃ remain unreacted =  7.007 g

i believe the answer is a.

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
