Fatima Bell · Answer 1

N (CaCO3) = m:M

m being the mass of the sample and M being the molar mass of the compound; Molar mass is to be obtained by adding the atomic masses of all the elements in the compound.

therefore,

n (CaCO3) = m:M

=28g:100 g. mol

=0.28 mol

therefore, there are 0.28 moles in 28g of Calcium Carbonate.
