Question

When heated, calcium carbonate decomposes to yield calcium oxide and carbon dioxide gas via the reaction
CaCO3(s)->CaO(s)+CO2(g)

What is the mass of calcium carbonate needed to produce 53 L of carbon dioxide at STP?

The decomposition of 3.32 g CaCO3 results in an actual yield of 1.24 g of CaO. What is the percent yield of calcium oxide for this reaction? CaCO3(s) → CaO(s) + CO2(g)
