A 3.82 g piece of limestone contains 2.62 g of CaCO3
1 answer:
Considering the definition of percentage by mass, the mass percentage of CaCO₃ is 68.59%.
<h3>What is mass percentage</h3>The percentage by mass expresses the concentration and indicates the amount of mass of solute present in 100 grams of solution.
In other words, the percentage by mass of a component of the solution is defined as the ratio of the mass of the solute to the mass of the solution, expressed as a percentage.
The percentage by mass is calculated as the mass of the solute divided by the mass of the solution, the result of which is multiplied by 100 to give a percentage. This is:
In this case, you know:
- mass of CaCO₃: 2.62 grams
- mass of limestone: 3.82 grams
Replacing in the definition of mass percentage:
<u><em>mass percentage= 68.59 %</em></u>
Finally, the mass percentage of CaCO₃ is 68.59%.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>A reaction coefficient is a number in the chemical formula of a substance involved in the reaction equation. The reaction coefficient is useful for equalizing reagents and products.
Reaction
CS₂ + 3O₂ -------> CO₂ + 2SO₂
mol of CO₂ based on mol of O₂ as a limiting reactant(CS₂ as an excess reactant)
From the equation, mol ratio of mol CO₂ : mol O₂ = 1 : 3, so mol CO₂ :
mass CO₂ (MW= 44 g/mol) :
