Question

what mass of carbon dioxide gas would be produced if 10g of calcium carbonate reacted with an excess of hydrochloric acid?

Answer 1

Answer is: 4,4 grams of carbon dioxide gas would be produced.
Chemical reaction: CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O.
m(CaCO₃) = 10 g.
n(CaCO₃) = 10 g ÷ 100 g/mol.
n(CaCO₃) = 0,1 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(CaCO₃) : n(CO₂) = 1 : 1.
n(CO₂) = 0,1 mol.
m(CO₂) = n(CO₂) · M(CO₂).
m(CO₂) = 0,1 mol· 44 g/mol.
m(CO₂) = 4,4 g.
