calculate the mass of sulphuric acid required to decompose 25g of pure marble. what is the volume of the Co2 if measured at STP
1. The reaction is as follows:
CaCO3 (s) + H2SO4(aq) CaSO4(aq) + CO2 + H2O
1 mole of pure marble reacts with 1 mole of sulphuric acid to give 1 mole of carbon dioxide.
2. Mass of Sulphuric Acid:
Number of moles of Calcium Carbonate =
Mass of Sulphuric acid =
3. Volume of Carbon dioxide:
1 mole of gas at STP has volume 22.4 L
So, Volume of Carbon dioxide =
CaCO3 (s) + H2SO4(aq) CaSO4(aq) + CO2 + H2O
1 mole of pure marble reacts with 1 mole of sulphuric acid to give 1 mole of carbon dioxide.
2. Mass of Sulphuric Acid:
Number of moles of Calcium Carbonate =
Mass of Sulphuric acid =
3. Volume of Carbon dioxide:
1 mole of gas at STP has volume 22.4 L
So, Volume of Carbon dioxide =
