    Answer is: mass of slaked lime is 6.92 grams.

    Balanced chemical reaction: Ca (OH) ₂ + 2NH₄Cl → CaCl₂ + 2NH₃ + 2H₂O.

    m (NH₄Cl) = 10 g; mass of ammonium chloride.

    M (NH₄Cl) = 14 + 1·4 + 35.5 · g/mol.

    M (NH₄Cl) = 53.5 g/mol; molar mass of ammonium chloride.

    n (NH₄Cl) = m (NH₄Cl) : M (NH₄Cl).

    n (NH₄Cl) = 10 g : 53.5 g/mol.

    n (NH₄Cl) = 0.187 mol; amount of ammonium chloride.

    From balanced chemical reaction: n (NH₄Cl) : n (Ca (OH) ₂) = 2 : 1.

    n (Ca (OH) ₂) = 0.093 mol.

    m (Ca (OH) ₂) = n (Ca (OH) ₂) · M (Ca (OH) ₂).

    m (Ca (OH) ₂) = 0.093 mol · 74.1 g/mol.

    m (Ca (OH) ₂) = 6.92 g.
