One molecule of calcium oxide, CaO , and one molecule of carbon dioxide, CO2 , combine in a chemical reaction to form one substance. Given that matter is neither created nor destroyed, which chemical formula identifies the product of this reaction?(1 point)ResponsesCaCO3C a C O sub 3Ca2CO3Ca sub 2 C O sub 3CaCO2C a C O sub 2Ca2O3

Answer 1

When one molecule of calcium oxide (CaO) reacts with one molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2), they combine to form calcium carbonate (CaCO3). The balanced chemical reaction can be written as:

\[ \text{CaO} + \text{CO}_2 \rightarrow \text{CaCO}_3 \]

Thus, the correct chemical formula for the product of this reaction is:

CaCO3
