What mass of cao will be abtained by heating 3 moles of caco3

Mass = 168.3 g  

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of CaCO₃  = 3 mol

Mass of CaO produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

CaCO₃  → CaO + CO₂

Now we will compare the moles of CaCO₃ with CaO .

                              CaCO₃       :       CaO

                                    1            ;         1

                                    3            :         3

Mass of CaO :

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 3 mol×56.1 g/mol

Mass = 168.3 g
