3.25 moles of H2O

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

2HCl + Ca (OH) 2 - > CaCl2 + 2H2O

Now, we can obtain the number of mole H2O produced from the reaction as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of HCl reacted to produce 2 moles of H2O.

Therefore, 3.25 moles of HCl will also react to produce 3.25 moles of H2O.

Therefore, 3.25 moles of H2O were produced from the reaction.
