This problem is requiring the empirical formula for CaCO₃, which is its molecular formula, and turns out to be equal, this is A. CaCO3 according to the following:

<h3>Empirical formulas:</h3><h3 />

In chemistry, molecular formulas show both the actual type and number of atoms in a chemical compound, based on the elements across the periodic table and the subscripts standing for the number of atoms in the compound.

However, the empirical formula is a reduced expression of the molecular one, which shows the minimum number of atoms in a compound after simplifying to the smallest whole numbers.

In such a way, since the given compound is CaCO₃ and both Ca and C have a one as their subscript, it is not possible to simplify any further and therefore the empirical formula equals the molecular one this time, making the answer to be A. CaCO3.

This is an ideal gas problem. The gas inside the balloon is considered ideal. Ideal gas equation is a function pressure, temperature, amount and volume. Note: amount is constant since the balloon ins closed. Pressure is maintained constant since the walls are flexible. Ideal gas equation is: PV=nRT. Put all constant in one side and variables in one.

P/nR=T/V. To find the answer to the question equate the constants of both situation
T1/V1=T2/V2
(25+273.15)/3=(x+273.15)/2
x=-74.38 degC
