  • CO2 Volume Calculation from CaCO3 Decomposition at STP
    To calculate the volume of CO2 produced, we need to first determine the number of moles of CaCO3 in 10 grams. The molar mass of CaCO3 is 100.09 g/mol.

    Number of moles of CaCO3 = 10 g / 100.09 g/mol = 0.0998 mol

    According to the chemical equation for the decomposition of CaCO3, 1 mole of CaCO3 produces 1 mole of CO2.

    Number of moles of CO2 produced = 0.0998 mol

    Now, we can use the ideal gas law (PV = nRT) to calculate the volume of CO2 produced at STP (standard temperature and pressure). At STP, the temperature is 0oC (273.15 K) and the pressure is 1 atm (101.325 kPa). The molar volume of a gas at STP is 22.4 L/mol.

    Volume of CO2 produced = (0.0998 mol) * (22.4 L/mol) = 2.23 L

    Therefore, the volume of CO2 produced from the complete reaction of 10 grams of CaCO3 at STP is 2.23 L.
