We need a stoichiometric reaction that represents the decomposition of calcium carbonate:

$CaCO_3(s) + Delta rarr CaO(s) + CO_2(g)uarr$

And thus calcium oxide and calcium carbonate are present in equimolar amounts:

$"Moles of calcium oxide"$ $=$ $(44.5*g)/(56.08*g*mol^-1)=0.794*mol$.

Given the of the reaction, an equimolar quantity of calcium carbonate MUST have been present.

This represents a mass of $0.794*molxx100.09*g*mol^-1$

$~=80*g$

In the decomposition reaction, what does the $Delta$ symbol represent?

When heated, solid copper(II) carbonate decomposes to solid copper(II) oxide and carbon dioxide gas. What is the chemical equation (including phases) that describes this reaction?

This reaction is balanced with respect to mass and charge; as indeed it must be if it reflects chemical reality. Most carbonates undergo this decomposition, provided you supply enuff heat...

A $2.03*g$ mass of calcium salts contains $1.33*g$ calcium carbonate. What is the $%$ calcium carbonate; and what is the percentage by mass of of calcium in calcium carbonate?

So we have the $"%calcium carbonate, "m/m$. We are not finished yet, because we have to address the percentage by mass of calcium metal in calcium carbonate: $%Ca=(40.08*g*mol^-1)/(100.09*g*mol^-1)=40%$ with respect...

When propane $C_3H_8$ reacts with oxygen, carbon dioxide and water are produced. If 7.51 grams of propane react with excess oxygen, how many grams of carbon dioxide are formed?

From the equation above, 3 moles of carbon dioxide result from every mole of propane combusted. We had, $(7.51*g)/(44.1*g*mol^-1)$ $=$ $?? "moles of propane"$. So how many moles of...

Iron (III) oxide reacts with carbon monoxide to form molten iron and carbon dioxide. If .18 g of iron (III) oxide reacts with 0.11 g of carbon monoxide, how many grams of iron would be produced?

$"Moles of ferric oxide "=(0.18*g)/(159.69*g*mol^-1)$ $=$ $1.13xx10^-3*mol" metal oxide"$. $"Moles of carbon monoxide "=(0.11*g)/(28.0*g*mol^-1)$ $=$ $3.93xx10^-3*mol" CO"$. $Fe_2O_3$ is the reagent in deficiency (why?), and thus $2xx1.13xx10^-3*molxx55.85*g*mol^-1~=0.150*g$ iron metal are...

Calcium oxide and carbon dioxide are produced from the decomposition of calcium carbonate. How many moles of calcium carbonate are needed to produce 15.0 grams of the calcium oxide?

We interrogate the stoichiometric equation...... $CaCO_3(s) + Delta rarr CaO(s) + CO_2(g) uarr$ We require a molar quantity of $(15.0*g)/(56.08*g*mol^-1)=0.268*mol,$ with respect to $"calcium oxide"$. And clearly, we need a...

Upon heating, calcium carbonate decomposes to produce calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. What is the theoretical yield of $CO_2$ if 235.0 g $CaCO_3$ is heated?

$CaCO_3(s) + Delta rarr CaO(s) + CO_2(g)uarr$ There is thus a 1:1 molar equivalence of carbonate to carbon dioxide. $"Moles of calcium carbonate"$ $=$ $(235.0*g)/(100.0869*g*mol^-1)$ $=$ $2.35$ $mol$. So, by...

Upon heating, calcium carbonate decomposes to produce calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. What is the percent yield of $CO_2$ if 97.5 g $CO_2$ is collected?

$CaCO_3(s) + Delta rarr CaO(s) + CO_2(g)uarr$ $(97.5*g)/(44.01*g*mol^-1" carbon dioxide")$ $~=$ $2$ $mol$. But we don't know with how much calcium carbonate you started. You started with over $2$ $mol$...

If iron (II) oxide gas decomposes into iron liquid and oxygen gas and 6 moles of iron (II) oxide gas are used, how of liters of oxygen gas are produced?

This means that for $6mol$ of $FeO$, only $3mol O_2$ is produced (half the moles). The volume of the oxygen is dependant on temperature and pressure. E.g. : If...
