 Calcium carbonate decomposes when heated to solid calcium oxide and carbon

Calcium carbonate decomposes when heated to solid calcium oxide and carbon dioxide gas. The balanced equation is: CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g) Before this reaction was run, the reaction container, including the CaCO3, had a mass of 24.20g. After the reaction, the container with product (and any unreacted reactant) had a mass of only 22.00g because the CO2 gas produced did not remain in the container. What mass of CaCO3 reacted? (Hint: Start by determining the mass of CO2 gas produced.) 4.4gCaCO3 5.09CaCO3 100gCaCO3 0,97gCaCp 1. gCaCO3
