@All,
Hear HNO3 is considered as a limiting reactant.
And as per the formula, the equation we get 2 mol of HNO3 will create 1 mole of Ca(NO3)2.
And HNO3 here given 63 gms.
Now Moles of HNO3 = Mass/ M.W.
No. of Moles = 63/63 = 1 mole
So, 2 mole HNO3 = 1 mole product.
1 mole HNO3 = ?
1/2 moles of product.
Now M.W. of Ca(NO3)2 = 164.
Therefore, Mass = 1/2 * 164 = 82 gm.

If we take Cao as limiting reactant then the answer will be 164 and if we take HNO3 as limiting reactant then the answer will be 82.

I think HNO3 is limiting. Please explain me, if I am wrong.

How can it be possible? Please explain.

CaO+2HNO3 -----> Ca(NO3)2 + H2O.
