Calcium carbonate forms limestone, one of the most common rocks on Earth. It also forms stalactites, stalagmites, and many other

types of formations found in caves. When calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is heated, it decomposes to form solid calcium oxide and carbon dioxide gas. Write the balanced equation and calculate how many liters of carbon dioxide will be produced at STP if 2.38 g of calcium carbonate reacts completely?

Answer:  CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g) , 0.533 L

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g)

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L of volume at STP.

Number of moles =\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

moles of calcium carbonate = \frac{2.38g}{100g/mol}=0.0238mol

As 1 mole of calcium carbonate produces = 22.4 L of carbon dioxide at STP

Thus 0.0238 moles of calcium carbonate produces =\frac{22.4 L}{1}\times 0.0238=0.533L of carbon dioxide at STP

How would you prepare 3.5 L of a 0.9M solution of KCl?
Fudgin [204]
Calculate the mass of the solute <span>in the solution :

Molar mass KCl = </span><span>74.55 g/mol

m = Molarity * molar mass * volume

m = 0.9 * 74.55 * 3.5

m = 234.8325 g 

</span><span>To prepare 0.9 M KCl solution, weigh 234.8325 g of salt in an analytical balance, dissolve in a beaker, shortly after transfer with the help of a funnel of transfer to a volumetric flask of 100 cm</span>³<span> and complete with water up to the mark, then cover the balloon and finally shake the solution to mix

hope this helps!</span>
