Use the chemical reaction to answer the question. ​CaCO3→CO2​+CaO A scientist heats 30 grams of calcium carbonate (CaCO3 ) in the chemical reaction shown. What is the total mass of the products? (1 point) Responses 60 grams 60 grams 10 grams 10 grams 15 grams 15 grams 30 grams

1 answer

The total mass of the products can be found by calculating the molar mass of each product and then adding them together.

CaCO3 has a molar mass of 100.1 g/mol
CO2 has a molar mass of 44.0 g/mol
CaO has a molar mass of 56.1 g/mol

When 30 grams of CaCO3 is heated, it will produce:
44 grams of CO2 (2 moles of CO2)
56 grams of CaO (1 mole of CaO)

Therefore, the total mass of the products is 100 grams (44 grams of CO2 + 56 grams of CaO).
