Solution

The correct options are
A 10 g CaCO3 on heating gives 0.1 mole CaO and 2.24 L CO2 at NTP
C 0.2 mole SO2 combines with 3.2 g O2 to form 0.2 moles SO3
The Law of Conservation of Mass:
In a chemical change total mass remains conserved, i.e. mass before reaction is always equal to mass after reaction.
10 g CaCO3 (0.1 mole) on heating gives 0.1 mole CaO(5.6g) and 2.24L CO2 (0.1 mole = 4.4g) at NTP.
0.2 mole (12.8g) SO2 combines with 3.2g O2 (0.1mole) to form 0.2 moles (16g) SO3.
