When calcium carbonate is heated strongly, carbon dioxide is evolved.

CaCO3 > CaO + CO2

If 4.74 g of calcium carbonate is heated, the volume of [tex]CO_2[/tex] that would be produced at STP will be 1.08 L

Volume of gas at STP

From the equation of the reaction:

[tex]CaCO_3 --- > CaO + CO_2[/tex]

The mole ratio of [tex]CaCO_3[/tex] and [tex]CO_2[/tex] is 1:1

Mole of 4.74 g  [tex]CaCO_3[/tex] = 4.74/100 = 0.0474 moles

Equivalent mole of [tex]CO_2[/tex] = 0.0474 moles

1 mole of gas at STP = 22.71 L

0.0474 moles  at STP = 22.71 x 0.0474 = 1.08 L
