Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the total number of moles of gas produced when 1 mole of CaCO3 decomposes?
  • Step 1: Identify the chemical reaction for the decomposition of calcium carbonate (CaCO3).
  • Step 2: Write the balanced equation: CaCO3 → CaO + CO2.
  • Step 3: Look at the products of the reaction. We have CaO (solid) and CO2 (gas).
  • Step 4: Count the number of moles of gas produced. In this case, there is 1 mole of CO2.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the total number of moles of gas produced is 1 mole.
