As we learnt in

Number of Moles of a gas at STP -

no of moles of a gas at STP= given volume of gas / 22.4 liter

-

 

 Ca(OH)_{2}\rightarrow CaO+H_{2}O

\therefore \: 1 \: mole\: o\! f Ca(OH)_{2}\: Gives\: 1 \: mole\: of\: H_{2}O

\therefore \: 1.5 \: mole\: o\! f Ca(OH)_{2}\: Gives\: 1.5 \: mole\: of\: H_{2}O

 

Moles of H2O =\frac{33.6}{22.4}= 1.5
