70.0 g. The decomposition of 125 g CaCO3 produces 700 g CaO.
MM = 100.09 56.08
CaCO3 → CaO + CO2
Mass 125 g
a) Moles of CaCO3 = 125 g CaCO3 x (1 mol CaCO3/100.09 g CaCO3)
= 1.249 mol CaCO3
b) Moles of CaO = 1.249 mol CaCO3 x (1 mol CaO/1 mol CaCO3)
= 1.249 mol CaO
c) Mass of CaO = 1.249 mol CaO x (56.08 g CaO/1 mol CaO) = 70.0 g
