    Balanced equation:

    CaO + 2 HCl - - > CaCl2 + H2O

    Calculate moles of each reactant:

    60.4 g CaO / 56.08 g/mol = 1.08 mol CaO

    69.0 g HCl / 36.46 g/mol = 1.89 mol HCl

    Identify the limiting reactant:

    Moles CaO needed to react with all HCl:

    1.89 mol HCl X (1 mol CaO / 2 mol HCl) = 0.946 mol CaO

    Because you have more CaO than that available, HCl is the limiting reactant.

    Calculate moles and mass CaCl2:

    1.89 mol HCl X (1 mol CaCl2 / 2mol HCl) X 111.0 g/mol = 105 g CaCl2
