    It will produce 44 grams of carbon dioxide

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Data given

    MAss of CaCO3 = 100 grams

    Molar mass of CaCO3 = 100.09 g/mol

    Mass of CaO produced = 56 grams

    Molar mass of CaO = 56.08 g/mol

    Step 2: The balanced equation

    CaCO3 → CaO + CO2

    Step 3: Calculate moles CaCO3

    Moles CaCO3 = mass CaCO3 / molar mass CaCO3

    Moles CaCO3 = 100 grams / 100.09 g/mol

    Moles CaCO3 = 1.00 moles

    Step 4: Calculate moles CaO

    Moles CaO = 56 grams / 56.08 g/mol

    Moles CaO = 1.00 moles

    Step 5: Calculate moles CO2

    For 1 mol CaCO3 we'll have 1 mol 1 mol CaO and 1 mol CO2

    Step 6: Calculate mass CO2

    Mass CO2 = moles CO2 * molar mass CO2

    Mass CO2 = 1.00 moles * 44.0 g/mol

    Mass CO2 = 44 grams

    It will produce 44 grams of carbon dioxide
