Calcium oxide and oxygen gas are produced by the thermal decomposition of limestone in the reaction CaCO (s) CaO(s) + CO (g). Wh

The mass of lime that  can  be produced  from  4.510 Kg of limestone  is calculated  as  below

calculate the moles  of CaCO3  used

that is  moles =mass/molar mass
convert  Kg  to g  = 4.510 x1000 =4510g
=  4510 / 100 =45.10 moles
CaCO3 = CaO  +O2

by use of mole ratio between CaCO3  to CaO  (1:1) the  moles of CaO  is also= 45.10 moles
mass of CaO = moles x molar  mass

45.10  x56 = 2525.6  g  of  CaO

125.0 g of an unknown substance is heated to 97.0°C. It is then placed in a calorimeter than contains 250g of water with an init
Sveta_85 [38]
The heat released by the substance in the calorimeter is equal to  the heat absorbed by water which results to the decrease and increase in temperature, respectively.
We use m Cp ΔT to balance the heat involved 

(m Cp ΔT) subs in calorimeter = <span>(m Cp ΔT) water
</span>125 g * Cp * (97.0-23.5 ) C = 250 g *(4.18 J/C g)* (23.5-20)
Cp = 0.398 J/Cg
