Answer:
0.712 mol
Explanation:
The easiest way to do this is to use a proportion.
1 mol of copper = 63.5 grams (check this using your periodic table).
x mol of copper = 45.2 grams
1/x = 63.5 / 45.2 Cross multiply
63.5 x = 1 * 45.2 Divide by 63.5
x = 45.2/63.5
x = 0.712 mol Answer to 3 sig digs
Answer:
a) is correct.......,.....

First write and balance the equation, being:
CaCO3 - CaO + CO2
Then, using the periodic table, find the molecular masses of CaCO3 and of CaO, finding their ratio. That will be 100g:56g or 0.1kg:0.056kg. Since you have 4.7kg of CaCO3, it corresponds to Xkg of CaO. Making x the subject, it should be X= 4.7*0.056/100=0,002632
