By heating 10g of CaCO3, 5.6g of CaO is formed. What is the moles of CO2 obtained in this reaction?
0.1
The reaction involved here is decomposition of CaCO3
CaCO3→ CaO+CO2
10g 5.6g
By law of conservation of mass, 10 - 5.6 = 4.4g of CO2 should be obtained.
44g of CO2 = 1 mole of CO2
4.4g of CO2 = 110 mole of CO2
