Use the chemical reaction to answer the question.
CaCO_(3) -> CO_(2) + CaO
A scientist heats 30 grams of calcium carbonate (CaCO_(3) ) in the chemical reaction shown. What is the total mass of the products?
60 grams
15 grams
10 grams
30 grams
The total mass of the products formed in a chemical reaction is equal to the total mass of the reactants. In this case, 30 grams of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is the only reactant involved in the reaction. Therefore, the total mass of the products will also be 30 grams.
So, the correct answer is 30 grams.
