    Mass of formed CaCl₂ is 14.9 g

    Mass of CaCO₃ that remains after the reaction is 14.5 g

    Explanation:

    We determine the reaction:

    CaCO₃ (s) + 2HCl (aq) ⟶ CaCl₂ (aq) + H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g)

    We have the mass of both reactants, so we have to find out which is the limiting; firstly we convert the mass to moles

    28 g. 1mol / 100g = 0.28 moles of CaCO₃

    10 g. 1mol / 36.45g = 0.27 moles of HCl

    Ratio is 1:2. Let's make a rule of three:

    1 mol of carbonate needs 2 moles of acid, to react

    Then, 0.28 moles must react with the double of moles, of acid.

    Therefore the HCl is the limiting reactant, and the reagent in excess is the salt.

    Ratio is 2:1. The rule of three will be:

    2 moles of acid needs 1 mol of salt to react

    Then, 0.27 moles of acid, will react with (0.27.1) / 2 = 0.135 moles of salt

    We have 0.28 moles of carbonate so (0.28 - 0.135) = 0.145 moles of salt will remain after the reaction is complete.

    We convert the moles to mass → 0.145 mol. 100 g/1mol = 14.5 g

    We said, that the limiting reagent was the HCl so we can work with the products, now. Ratio is 2:1

    2 moles of HCl can produce 1 mol of CaCl₂

    Then, 0.27 moles of HCl will produce (0.27. 1) / 2 = 0.135 moles of chloride

    We convert the moles to mass → 0.135 mol. 110.98 g/1mol = 14.9 g
