how many moles of CO2 are produced if you start with 3 mol of CaCO3?

balanced equation is: CaCO3--->CaO=CO2

your balanced equation is it CaCO3---------->CaO+CO2

Also, see your other post.

To determine the number of moles of CO2 produced, we need to use the balanced equation and the stoichiometry of the reaction.

The balanced equation you provided is:

CaCO3 ---> CaO + CO2

From the balanced equation, we can see that 1 mol of CaCO3 produces 1 mol of CO2. This means that the stoichiometric ratio between CaCO3 and CO2 is 1:1.

Therefore, if you start with 3 moles of CaCO3, you will also produce 3 moles of CO2.
