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

Which answer best explains the relationship between size and mass of the sun?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
The mean radius of the sun is 432,450 miles (696,000 kilometers), which makes its diameter about 864,938 miles (1.392 million km). You could line up 109 Earths across the face of the sun. The sun's circumference is about 2,713,406 miles (4,366,813 km). The total volume of the sun is 1.4 x 1027 cubic meters.
