Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the total number of moles of gas produced when 1 mole of CaCO3 decomposes to form CaO and CO2?
  • Step 1: Write down the decomposition reaction: CaCO3 → CaO + CO2.
  • Step 2: Identify the products of the reaction. Here, we have CaO and CO2.
  • Step 3: Count the moles of each product. We get 1 mole of CaO and 1 mole of CO2.
  • Step 4: Add the moles of gas produced. 1 mole of CaO + 1 mole of CO2 = 2 moles of gas.
