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

Since there is one carbon with 4 Fluorines attached to it, and both compounds are no metals, we use the covalent method for naming,

Here we ignore the prefix for the first element if it is 1. Mono. Then pay attention to the second one, it would be tetra, because tetra means 4. Here there are 4 fluorines.

Drop ine and place ide

CF4 = carbon tetrafluoride.
