How many moles of limestone will be required to produce 5.6g of CaO?
[Ca = 40, C = 12, O= 16]

A.

0.20 mol

B.

0.10 mol

C.

1.12 mol

D.

0.56 mol

Correct answer is B

CaCO3 → CaO + CO2
CaCO3 = 40 + 12 + 16 * 3 = 100, CaO = 40 + 16 = 56
56gt of CaO was produced by 100g of CaCO3
∴ 5.6g of CaO will produce by
(5.6 * 100)/56 = 10g of CaCO3
moles = mass/molar mass = 10/100 = 0.10m
