1. The relative formula mass of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is 100 g/mol. 2. One mole of calcium carbonate will react with 2 moles of hydrochloric acid (HCl). 3. Therefore, the mass of hydrochloric acid that will react with 1 mole (100 g) of calcium carbonate is 2 x 36.5 g = 73 g, since the molar mass of HCl is 36.5 g/mol.
