Write the equation and balance it.
Convert 5.0 g CaCO3 to moles. Moles = grams/molar mass.
Using the coefficients in the balanced equation, convert moles CaCO3 to moles CO2.
Convert moles CO2 to volume (since this is at STP you know that 1 mole CO2 at STP will occupy 22.4 L). So moles from the previous step x 22.4 L/mole = liters CO2.
Post your work if you get stuck.
