When heated, calcium hydroxide and ammonium chloride react to produce ammonia gas, water vapor, and solid calcium chloride.

Suppose 5.00 g of calcium hydroxide and 10.00 g of ammonium chloride are mixed in a test tube and heated until no more ammonia is given off. The remaining material in the test tube has a mass of 1.27 g. What total mass of ammonia and water vapor was produced in the reaction?

Hint: Remember the law of conservation of mass

A. 3.73 g

B. 8.73 g

C. 13.73 g

D. 16.27 g

13.73g

Explanation:

mass of reactants = mass of products.

Mass reactants = 5.00 g + 10.00 g = 15.00 g

Mass products = 1.27g + mass of ammonia and water vapor

Mass of ammonia and water vapor

15.00g - 1.27 g = 13.73 g
