A 10.0 g sample containing calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and an unreactive material was placed in excess hydrochloric acid, HCl. A reaction occurred, producing calcium chloride (CaCl2), water, and carbon dioxide. (a) write a balanced equation for the reaction (b) when the reaction was complete, 800 mL of carbon dioxide gas was collected. How many moles of calcium carbonate were used in the creation? (c) How many grams of CaCO3 were used? (d) If there was another contaminant in the sample that was not unreactive, would this have caused the percent yield of carbon dioxide to be higher, lower, or the same, explain your answer.

the answer is 0.42 is that is an option. this question provides no info

answeridentity;

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
