A technician heats a sample of lithium carbonate until it decomposes completely.
Li2CO3→Li2O+CO2\text{Li}_2\text{CO}_3 \rightarrow \text{Li}_2\text{O} + \text{CO}_2Li2CO3→Li2O+CO2
The relative formula mass of lithium carbonate is 74. At room temperature and pressure, one mole of any gas occupies 24 dm3.
The technician collects 4.8 dm3 of carbon dioxide at room temperature and pressure.
