What mass of CO2 will be produced when 50 g of CaCO3 decomposes?

CaCO3 decomposition:

CaCO3 -> CaO + CO2

The first thing to do here is to calculate the relative formula mass of CaCO3 and CO

The relative formula mass of CaO is 56 and the relative formula mass of CO2 is 44. What is the mass of CaO that can be obtained from 200 g of CaCO3. CaO3 -> CaO + CO2

We are given the relative formula mass (RFM) of CaO and CO2, we should therefore calculate the RFM of CaO3:

RFM of CaCO3 = 40 + 12 + (16 x 3) =...

What is the relative formula mass of CaCO3?

The relative formula mass (RFM) is simply just a sum of the atomic masses that make up the compound in question.

Ca = 40

C = 12

O = 16

RFM of CaC...

24 g of Magnesium reacts with 16 g of Oxygen to produce 40 g of magnesium oxide. What mass of magnesium would you need to produce 10 g of magnesium oxide?

There are two ways to work this out, one is a lot simpler than the other, I will post the simpler method here.

The relative formula mass of magnesium oxide, MgO (40), is just a sum of the...

0.250 g of a hydrocarbon known to contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen was subject to complete combustion and produced 0.3664 g of CO2 and 0.1500 g of H2O. What is the empirical formula of this hydrocarbon?

The first step here is to determine the mass of C in CO2 and the mass of H in H2O. This is done by dividing the relative atomic mass, Mr, by the relative molecular mass of the com...
