How much calcium oxide would be made by the thermal decomposition of 25 grams of calcium carbonate?
1 answer:
Answer:
14 grams of calcium oxide would be produced by thermal decomposition of 25 grams of calcium carbonate.
Explanation:
You know:
CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂
In the first place, by stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction) the following quantities react and are produced:
- CaCO₃: 1 mole
- CaO: 1 mole
- CO₂: 1 mole
Being:
- Ca: 40 g/mole
- C: 12 g/mole
- O: 16 g/mole
the molar mass of the compounds participating in the reaction is:
- CaCO₃: 40 g/mole + 12 g/mole + 3*16 g/mole= 100 g/mole
- CaO: 40 g/mole + 16 g/mole= 56 g/mole
- CO₂: 12 g/mole + 2*16 g/mole= 44 g/mole
Then, by stoichiometry of the reaction, the following mass amounts of the compounds participating in the reaction react and are produced:
- CaCO₃: 1 mole* 100 g/mole= 100 g
- CaO: 1 mole* 56 g/mole= 56 g
- CO₂: 1 mole* 44 g/mole= 44 g
You can then apply the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry of the reaction 100 grams of calcium carbonate CaCO₃ produce 56 grams of calcium oxide CaO, 25 grams of CaCO₃ how much mass of CaO will it produce?
mass of calcium oxide= 14 grams

Explanation:
So, we have the formula . For this example, q is the heat energy in Joules, m is the mass in grams, c is the specific heat capacity in
, and
t is the change in temperature. In this case, m = 47.5g, c = 0.9
, and
t = 94-21 = 73°C. Plugging in the values, we get the joules of heat required to raise 47.5g of Al from 21°C to 94°C which is stated above. You can double check my answer but that should be it. An important thing to be aware of are the units. Sometimes, the heat capacity may not be
. I may be in Kelvin or something. Anyways, hope this helps.
