CaCO3(s) + 2HNO3(aq) → Ca(NO3)2 (aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(ℓ)
Mass of 1 mol of CaCO3=100g Mass of 1 mol of Ca(NO3)2 = 164 g
2·00 g of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) was reacted with 200 cm3
of 0·1 mol l nitric acid
Take the volume of 1 mole of carbon dioxide to be 24 litres.
In the reaction
A CaCO3 is the limiting reactant
B an excess of 0·1 mol of nitric acid remains at the end of the reaction
C 1·64 g of calcium nitrate is produced by the reaction
D 480 cm3 of carbon dioxide is produced by the reaction
