Question

Calcium carbonate decomposes on heating according to the following equation.
$C a C O_{3} (s) ⇌ C a O (s) + C O_{2} (g)$
How many moles of $C O_{2}$ will be obtained by decomposition of 50 g $C a C O_{3}$ ?

Solution

The correct option is D $\frac{1}{2}$
Moles of $C a C O_{3} = \frac{50}{100} = 0.5$
1 mole of $C a C O_{3}$ will produce 1 mole of $C O_{2}$ .
So, 0.5 mol of $C a C O_{3}$ will produce 0.5 mole of $C O_{2}$ .
