CaCO3 = CaO +CO2
after a 15.8g sample of calcium carbonate was heated in an open container to cause decompostition the mass of the remaining solid was determined to be 9.10g. calculate the mass of carbon dioxide produced.
1 answer
So the CaO had a mass of 9.10g and you started with 15.8 g CaCO3, so CO2 must have weighed ??
