In summary, the conversation discusses the question of how to make the soluble salt calcium chloride and asks for three different methods, suitable reagents for each method, and the potential excess reagent. The person asking the question also mentions confusion about the term "suitable reagents." They ask for assistance in answering the question as it is due tomorrow.

Hi

I don't understand the question in my chemistry homework.

Homework Statement


Describe three different methods of making the soluble salt calcium chloride. For each method describe:

  • suitable reagents that can be used

  • which reagent, if any, is in excess


Homework Equations


What suitable reagent is the question talking about??


The Attempt at a Solution

I know there are 4 ways of making salts, but I am not sure what suitable reagents means. Does it mean compounds that react together to form the salt.

Please help me answer this question a.s.a.p! I have to finish this before tomorrow.

thank you

Reagents are your starting compounds. So what combination of compounds will react to make CaCl2?
 

FAQ: How Can You Make Calcium Chloride Using Different Methods?

What is the process of making calcium chloride?

The process of making calcium chloride involves the reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid. This reaction results in the formation of calcium chloride and carbon dioxide gas. The mixture is then filtered and the calcium chloride is obtained by evaporating the water.

What are the uses of calcium chloride?

Calcium chloride has many uses in various industries. It is commonly used as a de-icing agent, in food preservation, and in water treatment. It is also used in the production of concrete, as a drying agent, and in the oil and gas industry.

How do you determine the purity of calcium chloride?

The purity of calcium chloride can be determined through various methods, such as titration, gravimetric analysis, and spectroscopy. These methods involve measuring the amount of calcium chloride present in a given sample and comparing it to the theoretical amount that should be present.

What safety precautions should be taken when working with calcium chloride?

Calcium chloride is a corrosive and potentially hazardous chemical. It is important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, when handling it. It should also be stored in a cool, dry place and kept away from incompatible substances.

Can calcium chloride be made in a laboratory?

Yes, calcium chloride can be made in a laboratory by reacting calcium carbonate with hydrochloric acid. However, it is more commonly produced on an industrial scale due to its numerous uses and the cost-effectiveness of large-scale production.
