Solution

The correct option is C 50.0 g
CaCO3CaO+CO2
1 mole CaCO3= 1 mole CO2.
0.5 mole CaCO3= 0.5 mole CO2.
At STP, 1 mole of CO2= 22.4 L.
At STP, 0.5 mole of CO2=0.5×22.4=11.2 L.
11.2 liters of CO2 at STP = 0.5 moles CaCO3
1 mole CaCO3= 100. g.
0.51 mole CaCO3= 50.0 g.
Hence, 50.0 g CaCO3 is required to produce 11.2 liters of CO2 at STP.
