    712.32ml

    Explanation:

    From the equation, we can see that one mole of limestone yielded one mole carbon iv oxide.

    Now, we need to know the actual number of moles reacted. The actual number of moles reacted = mass reacted : molar mass of limestone.

    The molar made of limestone is = 100g/mol.

    Hence, the no of moles = 3.18:100 = 0.0318 mole

    Now, we need to know the number of moles of carbon iv oxide yielded. Using the 1 to 1 mole ratio, this shows that 1 0.0318 of Carbon iv oxide was yielded.

    We know 1 mole of a gas at s. t. p occupies a volume of 22.4dm^3, hence, 0.0318 will occupy; 0.0318b * 22.4 = 0.71232dm^3

    1000ml = 1dm^3

    Converting the volume to ml = 0.71232 * 1000 = 712.32ml
