Mass of CaCl2: 10,0 g Mass of Na2CO3: 10.0 g Actual amount collected: 2.00 g CaCO3 1. Write a balanced chemical equation.

Question

A student performs a lab at school. They massed out both reactants and then mixed them together. The reaction produced a precipitate. They filtered out the product and took the mass of it.

(I'm a bit confused on how to start this one because I could just write the balanced equation for Na2CO3 and CaCO3 but I'm unsure if the masses are going to effect how it turns out)

Grateful for any help given!

Answer 1

Good morning. The masses do not have any effect on the balanced equation.
