Question

1 Calcium carbonate breaks down on heating to produce calcium oxide and carbon dioxide gas.

Answer 1

Answer:  See below

Explanation:

1.  a)  0.15 moles calcium carbonate  (15g/100g/mole)

   b)  0.15 moles CaO  (molar ratio of CaO to CaCO3 is 1:1)

   c)   8.4 grams CaO  (0.15 moles)*(56 grams/mole)

2. a)  0.274 moles Na2O  (17g/62 grams/mole)

   b)  46.6 grams NaNO3  (2 moles NaNO3/1 mole Na2O)*(0.274 moles Na2O)*(85 g/mole NaNO3)
