Well, about #26.2*mol...#

Explanation:

Write the stoichiometric equation...

#Ca(s) +2HNO_3(aq) rarr Ca(NO_3)_2(aq) +H_2(g)uarr#

...and this is a redox reaction in which calcium metal is oxidized, and protium ion is reduced...and so if we start with #13.1*mol# metal....the stoichiometric equivalence of nitric acid is clear...
