Because if they are submerged in the solvent, they would dissolve! This would prevent them from seperating and not allow you to actually record anything
CaCO3(s) ⟶ CaO(s)+CO2(s)
<span>
moles CaCO3: 1.31 g/100 g/mole CaCO3= 0.0131 </span>
<span>
From stoichiometry, 1 mole of CO2 is formed per 1 mole CaCO3,
therefore 0.0131 moles CO2 should also be formed.
0.0131 moles CO2 x 44 g/mole CO2 = 0.576 g CO2 </span>
Therefore:<span>
<span>% Yield: 0.53/.576 x100= 92 percent yield</span></span>
Answer:

Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the Dalton's law, which explains that the total pressure of a gaseous system equals the sum of the partial pressures of the gases composing, for the gaseous mixture composed by oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide it would be possible to write:

Now, given the pressure of the system and those of oxygen and nitrogen, we calculate that of carbon dioxide as shown below:
