CaCO3 + 2H3O= Ca + 3H2O + CO2
How many moles of CaCO3 produced the moles of CO2 in the reaction?
1 mol CaCO3 will produce 1 mol CO2
To determine the number of moles of CaCO3 that produced the moles of CO2 in the reaction, we need to use the stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation.
The balanced equation is:
CaCO3 + 2H3O → Ca + 3H2O + CO2
From the balanced equation, we can see that the stoichiometric ratio between CaCO3 and CO2 is 1:1. This means that for every 1 mole of CaCO3, 1 mole of CO2 is produced.
Therefore, the number of moles of CaCO3 that produced the moles of CO2 is equal to the number of moles of CO2 in the reaction.
To calculate the number of moles of CO2, you need to know either the number of moles of CaCO3 or the number of moles of any other reactant or product in the reaction. Without this information, it is not possible to determine the number of moles of CaCO3 that produced the moles of CO2.
