How much CaCO3 would have to be decomposed to produce 247 g of CaO

441 g CaCO₃ would have to be decomposed to produce 247 g of CaO

Reaction

Decomposition of CaCO₃

CaCO₃ ⇒ CaO + CO₂

mass CaO = 247 g

mol of CaO(MW=56 g/mol) :

From equation, mol ratio CaCO₃ : CaO = 1 : 1, so mol CaO :

mass CaCO₃(MW=100 g/mol) :

a 20-cm-long, cylindrical graphite (pure carbon) rod is inserted into an oxidizing atmosphere at 1145 k and 1.013 x 105 pa pressure. the oxidizing process is limited by the diffu- sion of oxygen counterflow to the carbon monoxide that is formed on the cylindrical surface.
