    The mass of calcium carbonate that is needed to produce 47.0 l of Co2 at STP is 209.8 grams

    calculation

    CaCO₃ (s) → CaO (s) + Co₂

    calculate the moles CO2 at STP

    AT STP 1 mole of gas = 22.4 L

    ? moles = 47.0 L

    by cross multiplication

    =[ (1 moles x 47.0 l) / 22.4 L] = 2.098 moles

    use of mole ratio to calculate the moles of CaCO₃

    CaCo₃:Co₂ is 1:1 therefore the moles of CaCo₃ is also = 2.098 moles

    mass = moles x molar mass

    The molar mass of CaCo₃ = 40 + 12 + (16 x3) = 100 g/mol

    mass = 2.098 moles x 100 g/mol = 209.8 grams
