Reaction of Calcium hydroxide with HCl will produce Calcium chloride in 1:1 ratio.


1.77g Calcium hydroxide 1 mole Calcium hydroxide 1 mol calcium chloride 111 g of Calcium chloride

74 g of Calcium hydroxide 1 mol Calcium hydroxide 1 mol of Calcium chloride


2.66 grams is the theoretical yield


Percent yield = 2.50 X 100 = 94.34%

2.66
