How many moles of limestone will be required to produce 5.6g of CaO?
- A) 0.20 mol
- B) 0.10 mol
- C) 1.12 mol
- D) 0.56 mol
Correct Answer: B) 0.10 mol
Explanation
CaCO3 ? CaO + CO2
CaCO3 = 40 + 12 + 16 * 3 = 100, CaO = 40 + 16 = 56
56gt of CaO was produced by 100g of CaCO3
? 5.6g of CaO will produce by
(5.6 * 100)/56 = 10g of CaCO3
moles = mass/molar mass = 10/100 = 0.10m
