At high temperatures, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) decomposes to form calcium oxide (CaO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. The average

mass of 1 calcium oxide molecule is 56.079 amu, and the average mass of 1 carbon dioxide molecule is 44.009 amu.
CaCO3 CaO + CO2
Which is the total mass of the 1 calcium carbonate molecule?
A. 12.070 amu
B. 44.009 amu
C. 56.079 amu
D. 100.088 amu

Answer:

Option D is correct

Explanation:

The individual mass of reactants in the reaction are

Calcium Oxide (CaO) =  56.079 amu

Carbon dioxide (CO2) = 44.009 amu

Since this reaction is a simple addition reaction in which no mass of the reactants is wasted. Also, no energy is released accompanied by conversion of mass into energy.

Hence, total mass of reactants would be equal to the mass of the product.

Thus, mass of calcium carbonate i.e CaCO3  is

= 56.079 + 44.009 \\

= 100.08 amu

Hence, option D is correct

The gram molecular mass of co2 is the same as the gram molecular mass of ?
kari74 [83]
The answer is 1. CO. A gram-molecular mass is defined as mass in grams numerically equal to the molecular weight of a substance or the sum of all the atomic masses in its molecular formula. Since CO2 and CO has both carbon and oxygen, the gram-molecular mass does not change. For a compound with carbon and oxygen, the molecular mass comes respectively from 12 (atomic mass of carbon) + (2 × 16) (atomic mass of oxygen), which is 44 g.
