Calculate the volume of gas generated by the decomposition of 49g of copper carbonate (||).

The decomposition reaction of copper carbonate is described by the following chemical reaction equation:

CuCO3 = CuO + CO2;

The decomposition of 1 mol of vylb carbonate produces 1 mol of gaseous carbon dioxide and 1 mol of magnesium oxide.

Let’s calculate the available chemical amount of the carbonate substance vtlb.

M CuCO3 = 64 + 12 + 16 x 3 = 124 grams / mol;

N CuCO3 = 49/124 = 0.395 mol;

During the reaction, the same amount of carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide will be synthesized. Let’s calculate its volume. To do this, multiply the amount of the substance and the standard volume of 1 mole of the gaseous substance.

1 mole of ideal gas fills a volume of 22.4 liters under normal conditions.

V CO2 = 0.395 x 22.4 = 8.848 liters;
