Chemistry

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

tatuchka [14]
The answer would be .5 mols because you take the total amount of grams, which is 20, and you had up the molar mass of sodium hydroxide, which would be 40. After you have this you would set this up as a stochiometry equation. With 1 mol on top you dived 20/40 to cancel out your grams. This leaves you with .5 mols

202H8(9) + 7 O2(g) > 4CO2(g) + 6 H2O(9).
lilavasa [31]

since the concentration of Carbon Dioxide will increase, it would make Q > K, cause equilibrium to shift in the direction with less moles of gas to alleviate the extra pressure. In this case, the reaction will shift left because there are fewer moles of gas present.
