Question
Part A
When heated, calcium carbonate decomposes to yield calcium oxide and carbon dioxide gas via the reaction
CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g)
What is the mass of calcium carbonate needed to produce 39.0 L of carbon dioxide at STP?
Part B
Butane, C4H10, is a component of natural gas that is used as fuel for cigarette lighters. The balanced equation of the complete combustion of butane is
2C4H10(g)+13O2(g)8CO2(g)+10H2O(l)
At 1.00 atm and 23 C, what is the volume of carbon dioxide formed by the combustion of 1.80 g of butane?
