Answer:

28 g

Explanation:

The chemical equation of the reaction is given below:

CaCO₃ (s) ⇒ CaO (s) + O₂ (g)

From the chemical equation, 1 mole of CaCO₃ produces 1 mole of CaO.

So, we find the number of moles,n of  CaCO₃ in 50 g from

n = m/M where n = number of moles of  CaCO₃, m = mass of CaCO₃ and M = molar mass of CaCO₃ = 40 g/mol + 12 g/mol + 3 × 16 g/mol = 52 g/mol + 48 g/mol = 100 g/mol

So, n = m/M

= 50 g/100 g/mol

= 0.5 mol

Since From the chemical equation, 1 mole of CaCO₃ produces 1 mole of CaO, then 0.5 × 1 mole of CaCO₃ produces 0.5 × 1 mole of CaO, which is 0.5 mole of CaCO₃ produces 0.5 mole of CaO.

So, we have 0.5 mol of CaO.

We find the mass of CaO from

n =m'/M' where n = number of moles of CaO = 0.5, m' = mass of CaO and M' = molar mass of CaO = 40 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 56 g/mol

So, m' = nM'

= 0.5 mol × 56 g/mol

= 28 g

Democritus was the first to propose the idea of the atom. He said the atom was just this tiny, solid sphere. However, he used no scientific evidence to support his claim, so a guy named John Dalton did some experimenting and basically backed up Democritus' claim with evidence. Then, a guy named J.J. Thompson came along and said the atom was not solid and that is consisted of tiny negatively charged particles(electrons) and he came up with the Plum Pudding model which is just a tiny sphere with a punch of random scattered dots in it. After that, Ernest Rutherford did experiments and found that the tiny sphere is made up of mostly empty space with a tiny, dense, positively charged sphere inside of it, and the negatively charged particles just randomly float around it. Neils Bohr then said that the electrons take specific, circular, evenly spaced paths. Then, finally, we come to the Quantum Mechanical Model which is the one accepted today. This model basically vetos Bohr's idea and has a nucleus inside of an electron cloud, which is where the electrons are found.
