Calcium carbonate decomposes into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide when heated. This procedure is used to make quick lime, which is a critical ingredient in a variety of industries.
view moreQuestion: Calcium carbonate, upon heating in a crucible, decomposes to calcium oxide (Ca) and carbon dioxide (CO2). When a 1.00 g sample of calcium carbonate is heated, 0.56 g of calcium oxide remains in the crucible: Calcium carbonate → Cao (s) + CO2 (g) a. What is the mole ratio of calcium oxide to carbon dioxide after heating the sample?

The first step is the decomposition of solid calcium carbonate from seashells to form solid calcium oxide and gaseous carbon dioxide. The second step is the formation of solid calcium hydroxide as the only product from the reaction of the solid calcium oxide with liquid water.
