Answer: 13.888g

Explanation:

CaCO3 —> CaO + CO2

From the equation above, 1mole of CaCO3 produces 1mole of CaO. Since the answer is to be expressed in grams, let us covert this mole to grams. This is illustrated below:

MM of CaCO3 = 40 +12 + (16x3) = 40 + 12 + 48 = 100g/mol

MM of CaO = 40 + 16 = 56g/mol

From the equation,

100g of CaCO3 produced 56g CaO

Therefore, 24.8g of CaCO3 will produce Xg of CaO i.e

Xg of CaO = (24.8 x 56) / 100 = 13.888g

Therefore, the theoretical yield of CaO is 13.888g

Which of the following why use approximately represent the number of atoms in one mole of gold

natka813 [3]

Answer is: D. 6.02 x 1023.
Because this is Avogadro constant (the number of constituent particles, in this example atoms of gold that are contained in the amount of substance given by one mole). The mole is the unit of measurement for amount of substance, the mole is an SI base unit, with the unit symbol mol.
