If 1.4 g of calcium oxide is formed by the complete decomposition of calcium carbonate, then the amount of calcium carbonate taken and the amount of carbon dioxide formed will be respectively :(a) 2.2 g and 1.1 g (b) 1.1 g and 2.5 g (c) 2.5 g and 1.1 g (d) 5.0 g and 1.1 g
Correct Answer: (c) 2.5 g and 1.1 g
Explanation: Molecular mass of CaCO3: 40 + 12 + (16 × 3) = 100g
Molecular mass of CaO: 40 + 16 = 56g
Molecular mass of CO2: 12 + (16 × 2) = 44g
The reaction for the decomposition of calcium carbonate:
$CaCO_3 → CaO + CO_2$
100g 56g 44g
X 1.4g Y
56 g of CaO is obtained when 100g of CaCO3 is burnt.
Therefore, to get 1.4g of CaO, the amount of CaCO3 to be burnt will be
100×1.456=2.5g
For CO2,
100g of CaCO3 yields 44g of CO2
Therefore, 2.5g of CaCO3 will yield;
(44×2.5)/100
=1.1 g
