How many moles of calcium oxide are formed when 8 g of calcium containing 30% impurities are burned in oxygen?

Given:
m tech. (Ca) = 8 g
ω approx. = 30%

Find:
n (CaO) -?

Solution:
1) 2Ca + O2 => 2CaO;
2) ω (Ca) = 100% – ω approx. = 100% – 30% = 70%;
3) m clean. (Ca) = ω (Ca) * m tech. (Ca) / 100% = 70% * 8/100% = 5.6 g;
4) n (Ca) = m (Ca) / M (Ca) = 5.6 / 40 = 0.14 mol;
5) n (CaO) = n (Ca) = 0.14 mol.

Answer: The amount of CaO substance is 0.14 mol.
