From the complete decomposition of 0.2 moles CaCO3 at S.T.P. the volume of CO2 obtained is:

Correct answer: B. 4.48 L.

  • A. 2.24 L.
  • B. 4.48 L.
  • C. 44.8 L.
  • D. 48.4 L.

Explanation

Chemical reaction involved is: CaCO3 _CaO + CO2 As the reaction is balanced so 0.2 moles of calcium carbonate will produce 0.2 moles of CO2 Molar volume at S.T.P is 22.414dm3 Now No. of moles= volume/molar volume By rearranging Volume of CO2= molar volume * no. of moles =22.414dm3*0.2 =4.48L So the correct answer is B.
